Pacific Nations Set For War


As expected the Rugby League World Cup has been bitterly dissapointing, the opening match was not even considered important enough to show live, having to wait for channel nines's 60 minutes to finish before telecasting the opening match.

With NZ and Englang putting in substandard performances in the opening round it is difficult to see anyone challenging Australia.

Tomorrow night will see two teams face off that have a reputation as the most spiteful relationship in world sport.

Both Samoa and Tonga have been warned to perform their traditional pre-game war dance in their own quater as every time a player has stepped over the half way mark an all in brawl has ensured.

But Tongan winger Cooper Vuna - who will lead his nation's "Sipita'u" - last night warned there will be "no stopping anyone" if Samoa step over the halfway line.

"I don't know if the coaching staff or the management could stop it. There will be no stopping anyone."

If you like your sporting contests played with passion then don't miss this game, it should be a cracker.
