Pretty weak attempt at trying to be a comedian RossBardJapan.

Spirituality means alot to Maori and many NZers - GO JAPAN

Maybe a change of team moniker should be their first priority.

If they wanna get spiritual they should all start praying the Tongans all get food poisoning before the match. This match will have a similar result to the match against the all blacks. An embarrassing trouncing!

The Super Blossoms usually beat the Tongans - recently they got them in the Pacific Nations - so they will easily account for them tomorrow. Then again, I did say the Wallabies would make the Irish look like schoolboys...so maybe I'm not the best judge!

If I know my Samoans, real big strong dudes, so my guess Tongans are similar and the Japanese, well sorry amigos, this aint karate so, they will probably get smeared all over the place by these huge Samoans, oops!!, sorry, I meant Tongans??

Should be a great game. You've got the Tongan power versus the Japanese speed. Expect Japan to cop a battering early on, and then come home strong at the end. Both teams have great heart and I'm looking forward to the game very much!
