It’s time to relive the classic Rugby World Cup 2011 encounter between France and Tonga.

Not even a Tongan, but living in Auckland hearing the Tongan pride and seeing those red and white flags everywhere made me wish I was.

New Zealand deserved to be champions for the history and the brilliant performance during the whole tournament .. But they didn't deserve to win the final . France deserved to win the final for the domination in the second half.. but they didn't deserve TO BE in the final because of this match vs tonga and the horrible game vs Wales . Wales should have been there and maybe won the WC .. but they lost 3 times out of 7 games and also they barely won vs Samoa. I could go on and on but .. let's say Namibia probably deserved to be champions

Can you show the wales v Ireland or Fiji 2011?

[yeahwhatever]

And then France almost beat NZ in the grand final. wTF is up with French rugby?

@worldrugby Japan vs ireland from the world cup?

[thehappypeople]

that number 20 for tonga could've scored but decided to try and smash his way through the fullback instead of running for the tryline ;-; but wow i always enjoy seeing these type of games featuring polynesians

[VolaToloa]

Not for nothing did Fiji, Tonga and Samoa and if I might add, Māori all Blacks .. played all those games punching above their Weight , during the 50s to 80s …
These players in todays pro Rugby World Cup are the benefactors of those pioneer hard Island Played ..,

Does anyone notice he called it a fucked up tackle at 51:10 😂
