Looking for our Tonga vs Samoa prediction? Tonga and Samoa meet at CommBank Stadium in Sydney on Sunday 1 November from 10:05pm NZDT, and our tips are below.
Arguably the biggest rivalry in international Rugby League, Tonga and Samoa will wrap up the pool section of the World Cup with a game enveloped in rivalry, loathing and plenty of meaning. Tonga are already through to the semis while Samoa need to either win or lose and keep the current differential advantage over England intact. There is a lean towards Tonga in this one to exact revenge on last year’s Pacific Championships. Tonga had excuses that day as it was, of course, the infamous Eli Katoa incident/s. Samoa hold a 4-2 edge but Tonga enter this having played a tougher schedule while they have a much better pack. Tonga look the play. Tolutau Koula is a sublime talent who has scored in both World Cup games and has 26 tries in 41 games across the last two seasons. Jojo Fifita has had an unforgettable season with a role in the Queensland Origin team while he scored a double against Lebanon.
