International battles don’t get much bigger than Tonga and Samoa — in fact former Kangaroo Cooper Cronk believes “it could potentially be the game of the World Cup.”
The two proud nations will face-off in a sudden-death quarterfinal that’s expected to be jam-packed with everything from raw emotion to bone-crunching hits and freakish tries.
Tonga have history and momentum on their side having gone within a whisker of the World Cup final in 2017 and cruising through this year’s group matches undefeated.
