Tonga v Samoa, start time, team lists, live updates

Dallin Watene-Zelezniak is hammered by Junior Paulo on the 10m line. The winger was bringing it back for the second hit up and copped a huge shot from the big prop.

There’s a bit of push and shove, but nothing comes of it. The referee simply awards a penalty to the Tongans for the shot.

Less than a minute later and Watene-Zelezniak puts a foot on the sideline and is denied a try. They didn’t even go up to the bunker. No try, but Tonga have arrived.

They’ll get another shot though as Chanel Harris-Tavita kicks out on the full from about 42m out from his own line. So it’s another golden opportunity for Katoa and Tonga to post first points. But Robert Toia drops it half-a-metre out from the tryline. They’re treatening.
