A handling error from Samoa eventually lets Tonga off the hook, and they celebrate the turnover like a try.

Samoa break the line again. Tonga just about recover to hold them up but they're under some serious pressure now.

Tonga 4-12 Samoa
Tonga are deploying a kick-to-the-corner-first tactic which very nearly comes off on the right flank.
Sione Katoa gets some good air time, jumping and trying to bat the ball back, but he's called for an infringement.

But Tonga have the individual brilliance to scare the very best of sides. This match ain't over yet.

Jarome Luai, goal Stephen Crichton
Tupou's error is punished!
This is some sensational quick feet from Jarome Luai, cutting back to beat two defenders before diving over under the posts.
Stephen Crichton's kick makes it an eight-point lead.

Tonga 4-6 Samoa
Tonga win the ball back, intercepting a grubber.
Oh but that's criminal, Daniel Tupou throws a loose pass in his own defensive zone and Samoa regain possession straight away.

I say it's Tonga's game now but Samoa have just benefitted from more penalty calls to go to within 10 metres.

How about these for a couple of pre-match photos?!
They're not letting us down now the match has started, either.

John Jones: Samoa v Tonga facing off is immense, passion and pride all the way.
Mark Brierley: Tonga and Samoa doing their war dances simultaneously was proper theatre. If anyone wants to understand what the phrase "controlled aggression" means, watch that followed by the respectful hand shakes and embraces.

Tonga 4-6 Samoa
Almost from Tonga's Daniel Tupou.
A kick to the corner is nearly gathered on the leap by the 6ft 5in winger, but Samoa's Brian To'o does just enough to put him off.
Tonga have all the momentum.

Daniel Tupou
And it's an instant reply!
There's an overload on the left and Will Hopoate finds winger Daniel Tupou who excellently takes in the ball on the stretch before crossing in the corner.
Isaiya Katoa's kick from out wide goes wide, but Tonga are right back in this game.

Jaydn Su'a, goal Stephen Crichton
After a very even start it's the individualism of Jaydn Su'a who gets the first score.
The Samoan runs a beautiful angle, breaking through the line at pace before beating the full-back with a classy step and crossing under the posts.
The kick from Stephen Crichton is good.

Wow, this is some physical battle.
Both sides' opening sets end with kicks away after bulldozing carries.
