Tonga vs Reds, 12:30pm Friday 26/7 @ Teufaiva Sports Stadium

Sounds like Coleman might be turning out for Tonga:

That would be an interesting outcome as the game seems to fall outside the window. Good for Tonga and good on Bordeaux if true. It "should" be a moot process given the weakness of Canada/Similar but given the PNC (Pacific Nations Cup) this year is the qualifiers for RWC27 it's important that they get a good team out there to avoid potential slip ups.

Unless DFAT have also paid $100k to fly a broadcast crew over, then it won’t be broadcast on Stan.

It might be a single camera angle through YouTube/Facebook though.

The fact they're playing the game in the middle of the day on a Friday tells me they aren't too fussed about broadcasting it.

The issue with basing teams in South Pacific is your going to be met with inferior stadium infrastructure. I don’t think the stadiums in Tonga, Samoa and Fiji can support the required lux brightness lighting to broadcast night games

Looks like the game will be streamed through rugby.com.au

What are everyone's thoughts on Dre Pakeho? Personally I thought he was excellent last week. Great ball runner and finds opportunities to get a cheeky off load in....
