Canada turn over possession inside their own half and launch the counter attack, spreading the ball to Hearn who tears through the defence and links with Duke who sprints clear from thirty metres. Pritchard continues his perfect kicking form from out wide.
@Archie A strike to the face! Check out the comment section for more.
Tongans win a penalty at the stroke of half time. They choose to boot the ball into touch, signalling the half time whistle. Lokotui's try early on along with Aholelei's red card have been the highlights of the half. Canada doing plenty of attacking but have struggled to break down a well organised Tongan defence. Now Tonga face the uphill battle of stealing the lead from an in-form Canadian side with a one man advantage. Second half on the way!
What for?
A brawl unfolds on half-way, with almost all of the players getting involved. After a minute or so, the officials bring order and serve Aholelei for a strike to the face.
Canada look to be in for their first try - They spot an overlap and fling the ball wide to Pritchard on the wing. Pritchard tears down the touch-line before delivering a beautiful chip inside to Moonlight who touches down - But the referee decides Moonlight was ahead of the kicker, and brings play back.
Another penalty goes Canada's way when the Tongans again infringe at the ruck. Pritchard steps up just inside the Tongan half and guides it over. Tongans will need to watch their discipline and avoid the in-form kicking boot of Pritchard..
Thanks for the coverage lads, can't find the match anywhere
Since the early Tongan try, the Canadians have found some rhythm. Under pressure, they boot the ball down-field. Evans provides the chase and forces a knock-on. He hacks the ball ahead and collects inside the Tongan twenty-two. The support arrives and the Canadians begin to hammer against the visitors' defences - but a kick ahead from Barkwill trickles into touch and the Tongans clear their lines.
