Siosiua Taukeiaho also reacted to the history-making win at Eden Park.

NRL on Nine is the home of rugby league in 2019 so stayed tuned for more NRL highlights, analysis, opinion and video.

Translation (Konrad):

“First of all, I just want to thank the Almighty God for still taking good care of us till today. To all my Tongan family/friends/supporters, massive love to you all in Tonga and to my family as well. Thank you ALL so much for still supporting and showing so much love for the team”

Im a proud brit but there’s something about the Tonga mentality that fills me with emotions, the crowd conveys a unique energy, not just partisan support for their team but a real sense of love and joy for the chance to make history, its infectious and makes me proud to follow this great game of ours, congrats from the bottom of my heart

I am a Papua New Guinean living in Australia is happy to see both teams played well, my heart 💓was moved with tears of joy for Tonga. You have made it, you won the victory and have made your country proud. Not only on games you put such efforts to be proud of as a Tongan, do it also in everything you do in life. And I know that as you believe in God and in yourselves saying you can do it, and you will make it through all without difficulty. Once again, congrats to MMT👍

Proud of you guys. You guys have made your nation proud as well as the rest of the Pacific Islands. God bless you Tonga. Big support from PNG 💪

I couldn't help but notice that some of the very best players in the NRL, play in the Tongan side. Just goes to show how much the NRL rely on all the islander nations to inject that level of talent in the NRL. The NRL has produced the environment so that these guys can perform at their best. Look out in the near future. Australia will be beaten more often in the future by the islander talent they are helping to create. Great for the game of Rugby League. Now the New Zealand talent need to step up a bit and the game will just explode out of sight.
