Head coach Kristian Woolf stated after his team defeated Cook Islands.
Tonga will take on Samoa in the Quarter-final of the Rugby World Cup on November 6 at Halliwell Jones Stadium, Warrington. The winner of this weekend’s last quarter-final between Tonga and Samoa will play either England or Papua New Guinea at the Emirates Stadium in London for the championship. With tickets starting at $25, the match promises to be one of the finest matches of the competition. Head coach Kristian Woolf stated after his team defeated Cook Islands: “It was vital for us to come up with a really excellent performance. There have been many things on our to-do list.
“We offered a little taste of what we can do and the quality we possess,” I say a little because we still have more to give and we’ll become better. We’re going to get better as a result of it. We have a lot of confidence and energy after that result coming into the quarterfinal, which we anticipate to be very challenging. “We wanted to improve from week one, we did in week two, and we did again today (against France), and we’ll have to develop again more for next week,” Samoa’s head coach Matt Parish said.

The BBC is airing every match from the wheelchair, men’s, and women’s World Cup competitions. On BBC Two and BBC iPlayer, Tonga vs. Samoa will be shown live. The men’s tournament quarterfinal match is arguably the closest of the whole competition. With Planet Sports Bet, Tonga is the slight favorite at 8/13, while Samoa is listed at 6/4. The workplace is divided on this one, making it difficult to make a decision. However, I’ll only support Tonga.
