When you have Islanders representing their home country it always is. Samoa vs Tonga is the best grudge match in sports.

This was only topped by the crowds singing in the second half which blew my fuckin mind. So good I wanted to cry had goosebumps basically the entire second half.

Australia, Tonga made too many mistakes in key moments. Conceded too many points in the first half. Second was actually quite close.

They were all in tears as well when their national anthem was being sung.

The day I don’t get goosebumps from a haka/siva tau/kailao is the day I’m no longer a human
I guess I am already not a human, it was nice as gimmick for 2-3 times but now it just looks stupid to me
Sorry to break the news but Cultural/Tribal war cry’s aren’t just a gimmick made for sports and tv.
Whatever, it is not my tribe so those stupid demonstrations of tribal violence don't mean anything to me. I don't mind them doing it, but I am not impressed.
Wtf “tribal violence”. “Not my tribe”. They’re not fucking island warriors it’s called having a cultural heritage.
Once again it’s not for you to be impressed, to them it’s like a national anthem they don’t have to impress anyone it’s for their country and their heritage. It’s not a fuckin Super Bowl halftime show.
Jesus Christ, r/privilege if i ever saw it.
