Fair dues to Tonga who ran and tackled harder than Kiwis for most of the game and got a well deserved win. As a Kiwi fan it was very disappointing.Let's be real we were a rabble for long periods unable to contain the Tongan forwards -spilling the ball often - poor line speed on D allowing likes of AFB to dominate - leaking a couple of tries that weren't just soft they were like a knife thru melted butter.

Yeah definitely that start 100% costed Kiwis I think in the end
the front row and forwards for both teams were outstanding. Moses suli was the worst player for tonga his defence against kini was terrible
Agreed there, defensively that is something he must get better at in the Final
