Samoa vs Tonga prediction

This has all the makings of being a must-watch encounter in Brisbane when taking into account the players on show and the quality of both teams. Samoa with the likes of Murray Talagi leading the charge and Tonga boasting Jason Taumalolo among their squad. It will be no surprise to see a contest high on physically and the team who plays the slicker, more co-ordinated game will give themselves the best chance of success.

Samoa lost their opening match against New Zealand, but showed enough to suggest that they have what it takes to bounce back quickly. For Tonga to hit the ground running will be a difficult task when considering how hard Samoa pushed the world number two Kiwis. However, head coach Kristian Woolf if a winner and has proved it across his career. If anyone can mastermind a big performance on this stage, he can and with that in mind, backing Tonga warrants serious consideration.
