Coming to you with tons of hanisi from the 180th meridian, in the middle of the Blue continent, where it is a warm 23 degrees Celsius again at 5am this morning.
 
In Rugby League: Size doesn’t count for everything, but stopping Tonga’s Ton of hulking forwards in the middle, is bloody tough.
 
Tonga bashed through New Zealand’s defensive line in their upset 25-24 win last weekend, with Addin Fonua-Blake and Jason Taumalolo combining for 388M to help their country qualify for the Pacific Cup final in Sydney.

Tongan Captain Fonua-Blake @ 123Kg, Taniela Paseka @ 120Kg, Jason Taumalolo @ 115Kg, Haumole Olakau’atu @ 113Kg and Eliesa Katoa @ 110Kg dwarf their Australian counterparts, with Tonga set to unleash a six-man forward pack, weighing 1004kg on Sunday.

Even Tongan Centre Moses Suli @ 109Kg weighs more than Australia’s heaviest player.

Go Tonga Go!
