In 2015 Queensland Tonga Rugby Union was privileged to assist in the Pacific Double Header between Fiji and PNG as well as the blockbuster between Tonga and our traditional rivals and brothers Samoa held on the Gold Coast.
Aside from selling tickets, Queensland Tonga Rugby began the #TongaRise campaign to rally support from the Tongan community behind the Mate Ma'a Tonga team and was a huge success with many notable Tongan sports men and women getting in on the fun like Olympic Gold medalist Valerie Adams, Ikale Tahi captain Nili Latu and musician Swiss to name but a few.
The game was a great one with both teams putting it all on the line and was not decided right until the final whistle. The Mate Ma'a Tonga boys just going down to Toa Samoa. The boys in red will no doubt rise again for the net challenge.
