Tonga qualify for Rugby World Cup after Fiji triumph
By Peter Thompson
Tonga have qualified for the 2019 Rugby World Cup after Fiji beat Manu Samoa to retain the Pacific Nations Cup on Saturday.
Manu Samoa required a bonus-point victory in the showdown at Apia Park to seal their spot in Pool C for the showpiece in Japan in two years' time.
But Fiji, who had already qualified for the World Cup, ensured it will be Tonga who will be up against England, France, Argentina and the United States in what has been billed as the 'group of death'.
Henry Seniloli scored a hat-trick as Fiji won 38-16 to lift the Pacific Nations Cup for the third consecutive year.
Manu Samoa will still get another chance to seal a spot in the World Cup when they play off against either the Czech Republic or Portugal.

I just can't agree with 8.5 for Ross Byrne. A 6 at best I would think.

It's likely he just doesn't have your phone number.
You can't polish a turd. No coach can change that team at the moment.
