[QUOTE="Darwin, post: 393186, member: 24910"] I haven't seen a lot of the Morath's, but if they can form a strong combination as you suggest they will likely be the best option for Tonga. I'm really hoping Tonga don't have to rely on Fisilau at halfback. He has all the skills, but he is very slow at arriving to the base of the breakdown, therefore prevents the team getting fast ball. As the game goes on he often doesn't even make it to the base of the rucks, meaning someone else has to play halfback (I would swear Simon Leamlu was almost the permanent Counties halfback in the latter half of games last year). I hope that Tonga do use Koloamatangi at 7, as that will give them a good balanced loose-trio. However I suspect Maka will play at 7 (as he did on their end of year tour), with Vahafolau, Ma'afu, and Steve Mafi competing for the 6/8 spots - it will certainly gives them a good ball running trio, but would leave them a bit weak when competing at the breakdown.
