Mate Ma'a Tonga have survived a scare from a committed PNG Kumuls outfit to come away with a 24-18 win at St Helens' Totally Wicked Stadium.
I think it was last tackle and the boys were just throwing the ball around and I was trying to the follow the ball in case something happened. The mad scramble continued with Tolutau Koula getting a pass away to Taukeiaho who put in a clever grubber for Kaeon Koloamatangi to chase through and score. Siua put a good kick in, it was perfect, and I was just lucky to be there. I'm just so grateful that I have the opportunity to represent my country on this big stage." The Leigh Centurions rake left four Tongan defenders clutching at thin air as he surged into the back field and delivered a perfectly timed pass for Lam to go over for PNG's second try of the night. - Kumuls goalkicker Rhyse Martin has not missed a goal since July, his record now standing at 41 successful kicks in a row.
Absolute chaos as WC contenders get out of jail in epic finish as PNG fume over huge call.
Tonga responded through Will Penisini but it was Koula, who deserves the accolades. And then with just three minutes to go, Tonga produced a try for the ages to steal the win. The ball was touched eight times before Siosiua Taukeiaho put a grubber in for Keaon Koloamatangi, who was filling in at hooker, to score in his World Cup debut. The game really heated up in the second half as PNG scored an important try in the first minute to keep themselves in the hunt. Despite having the much weaker side, PNG fought hard and levelled the scores in the 67th minute only for Tonga to break their hearts with a frantic try with just three minutes left on the clock. Tai looked to have plant the ball down as he was being pushed over the sideline by Tolu Koula, who was lucky not to be pinged for a shoulder charge.
