[QUOTE="Fa'atau82, post: 135724"] Tonga is a tiny, tiny country. They only have a population of around 100,000, and approximately 1,000 players to choose from. Then you look at players who have emerged from Tonga, like Jonah Lomu, and all the said Tongans playing at top level in Europe and NZ (Hale T-Pole, Nili Latu etc) and you probably have the world's most raw talented rugby country on the percentage of players who become solid pros in the top pro leagues. Tonga won't be humilated. They might lose by 60 points perhaps, but they do well to get to the RWC and can only get better. [/QUOTE]
