rugby.com.au | Australia A too good for Tonga
Australia A 90(Stephen Hoiles 4, Digby Ioane 2, Drew Mitchell 2, Sam Norton-Knight 2, Morgan Turinui, Timana Tahu, Lachie Turner, Patrick Phibbs tries; Matt Carraro 4, Norton Knight 2, Halangahu 3, Brett Sheehan conversions) defeated Tonga 7 (Viliame Ma’asi try; Vunga Lilo conversion) at North Sydney Oval, Sydney. (Half Time: 43 – 0) Crowd: 6817.
Drew made it on the field woohoo! Drew got 2 tries booyah, im hoping this means the ankle held up? Hopefully he makes the cut for this weeks Wallabies game!
Just about half the team had a kick! Who was the flyhalf meant to be?
Congratulations to them all!!

thanks for posting the score mate ..... i was trying to avoid it so i could watch it ......
There's no pleasing some people....
dont hang around a rugby forum if you dont want to find out a rugby score...
brownie looked comfortable out there in no. 7- Gold suits him
Bit quite in the frist half never far from the action - Hoiles was superb at No. 8 - took a lot of the limelight from our lad - whose s tackling skills were not required in this outing - got a couple of turnovers, a few big hits, never very far from the ball - not sure it was dazzling enough for Wallaby Selection.
61 years between Grand SlamsWas the wait worth it - Ya betta baby
what a beauuutiful score![]()
Be There. Be Heard. Be The Force Behind The Force
Don't know that this match is going to be enough to improve anybody's chances of Wallaby selection, there's not going to be a lot of respect for a team that goes down by 83 points even if they played well while doing it.

agreed. i doubt this match will affect how Robbie thinks of somebody, cos everyone basically had a good game.
Stephen Hoiles was in fact a stand out amonst all other stand outs though, and if i have to guess, he might pip brownie for a spot on the bench against the french.
It was good to watch in the way that its nice to see us winning by that much, but yet, it wasnt really that exciting a game of rugby.

BOKKE“Let me put it this way, A Springbok team contains Afrikaners, Englishmen, coloureds and blacks. It has parochial foes in Bulls, Sharks, Stormers, Cheetahs and Lions. It is a recipe for war! Yet in all the years of John Smit’s captaincy, there has never been one unhappy customer, not one voice of rebellion against his leadership. He is the glue that holds the Springboks together. The man is a legend!”- Jake White
so my mate drews almost a wallaby?? YAAAAYYYY!!!i hate tvs that stop recording after half an hour... does anyone know when the repeat is on? what position did drew come on as... if it was fullback i will SCREAM!!!
(im full of questions!!!)
A kick in this game is like a rather nasty alcoholic shooter, only as good as it's chaser...

its going to take an injury for drew to be included in the two tests against france deans has a pretty large squad to choose from, the same goes for hoiles even although he scored 4 tries it going to take a big effort and a bit of luck to get the no8 jersey off cliffy palu.....
