Recount Writting

Did you watch the Tonga vs Kiwis game at Hamilton last week on Saturday? It seemed the Tonga team was the favourites to win the game as we saw a sea of red around the Stadium. In the first half the Kiwis was leading by 16-2, but that all changed in the second half where the Tonga team made a strong comeback by scoring 4 quick tries to secure they win, creating a great surprise to everyone. The Tonga team now progress through to the quarter-finals against Lebanon in Christchurch this Saturday while the Kiwis will face Fiji in Wellington. The team’s that I want to win the Rugby League cup is Kiwis or Toa Samoa.
