Tonga a country of rugby pride
Tonga has had a mixed bag this season. They are big, they are certainly strong and at the end of the PNC they ended on a high downing Fiji with a great showing in front of their King and country. Here are a few images to savour their 2008 season, see some of their up and coming stars and get us ready for a mighty 09 from Ikale Tahi.
