0:00:41 > 0:00:44There was plenty of talk about New Zealand before this tournament.
0:00:44 > 0:00:48Several players have actually elected to play for Tonga ahead of
0:00:48 > 0:00:56New Zealand.Is this World Cup mission impossible for the he Kiwis.
0:00:56 > 0:01:03COMMENTATOR:It's going to be an early try.Before Tonga got right up
0:01:03 > 0:01:07our noses. COMMENTATOR:All the way! This is
0:01:07 > 0:01:15extraordinary.But you have to understand, rugby to a New
0:01:15 > 0:01:23Zealander, it defines us. Recover, rebuild, reclaim.
0:01:23 > 0:01:28Robbie's ready. Are you? Welcome to highlights of the 2017 rugby league
0:01:28 > 0:01:31World Cup, as the competition reaches the knockout stages, we've
0:01:31 > 0:01:37already seen one shock in the group stages with Tonga deifying
0:01:37 > 0:01:39expectations to beat cohost New Zealand. Will we see another in the
0:01:39 > 0:01:47quarter finals? We'll have all the action from the kiwi's game against
0:01:47 > 0:01:55Fiji and Tonga's clash with Lebanon. Andrew Henderson, John Wilkin and

0:02:11 > 0:02:11Cup related questions. Send them in using hashtag BBC RL. Here is the
0:02:11 > 0:02:22line-up in full:
0:02:39 > 0:02:42New Zealand began their tournament with convincing wins against Samoa
0:02:42 > 0:02:46and Scotland, but last week's emotional defeat to Tonga turned the
0:02:46 > 0:02:50competition on its head. That meant they faced Fiji earlier today, who
0:02:50 > 0:02:54sailed through their group in impressive style and feature the
0:02:54 > 0:02:59tournament's top try scorer so far.
0:03:07 > 0:03:13Adam Blair and Ngama the captains of both sides. The quarter finals of
0:03:13 > 0:03:17the rugby league World Cup 2017. Fiji undefeated. New Zealand one
0:03:17 > 0:03:27loss. Let's look at New Zealand's team for this match.
0:04:21 > 0:04:28He's through! He could go all the way! Oh, he's being held up. Lost it
0:04:28 > 0:04:37over the line. Oh, that was a shame. Fiji are trying to claim it here. A
0:04:37 > 0:04:51big call.Still has possession at this point. Yeah, ball is gone.Well
0:04:51 > 0:05:02it's going to be no try. But a stunning run.
0:05:17 > 0:05:23Fiji get an error. Can you feel the excitement here, the crowd, for
0:05:23 > 0:05:29Fiji. Pretty simple. They've put a bit of pressure on. You don't give
0:05:29 > 0:05:35Hayne time and space. The ball comes free. But it is a loose carry. More
0:05:35 > 0:05:46possession for Fiji.
0:06:15 > 0:06:20Very good tackle from Shawn Johnson.
0:06:28 > 0:06:33There is a penalty to Fiji. Right in front of the posts. And they are
0:06:33 > 0:06:49going to kick for goal.It's Marty Taupau laying down the law here.
0:06:52 > 0:06:57So the penalty to Fiji, it is 2-0.
0:07:13 > 0:07:17Big man against the little man. The big man almost won as he invariably
0:07:17 > 0:07:29does. There is the off-load. Fiji a chance on the left. Oh, I think it's
0:07:29 > 0:07:37been driven into touch there.Back to the 20. New Zealand survive.
0:07:37 > 0:07:50Great off-load. The body in front of him, puts it on the line. Blocks his
0:07:50 > 0:07:57path. Good D, one, two, three. Inside the last 60 seconds in the
0:07:57 > 0:08:04first half. Who would have thought no tries so far. Maybe the Kiwis
0:08:04 > 0:08:10might have one up their sleeve here.
0:08:15 > 0:08:25Tuivasa-Sheck.
0:08:34 > 0:08:43This is a good shift. Could we have a dazzling finish to the first half?
0:08:43 > 0:08:55Martin! Vunivalu saves the attacking play there from New Zealand. Martin
0:08:55 > 0:09:00had no idea that he was behind him. Extraordinary score line. Most
0:09:00 > 0:09:04unexpected in the first half. New Zealand need to find some fire.
0:09:04 > 0:09:12Martin needs to inject himself into this game. As does Shaun Johnson.
0:09:19 > 0:09:37It's gone against Fiji. Now some back chat. Shaun Johnson. That was a
0:09:37 > 0:09:45tough one there for Fiji. Looked like a knock-on. Then the back chat.
0:09:45 > 0:09:55So Shaun Johnson will line up this attempt.
0:10:06 > 0:10:11Delivers 2-2 to the game.
0:10:19 > 0:10:24Great tackling there from Fiji. Yeah, great, D. One, two, three,
0:10:24 > 0:10:29four Fijians. Jarryd Hayne comes out of that exchange smiling.New
0:10:29 > 0:10:36Zealand not smiling with that slight mistake there from Packer.
0:11:15 > 0:11:21Breaking tackles. That's a sensational return of the football
0:11:21 > 0:11:27from that pair. Now New Zealand risking the penalty. That's a
0:11:27 > 0:11:39professional foul. What will he do here? Rapana has been sent to the
0:11:39 > 0:11:48bin. New Zealand down to 12 for the next ten minutes.
0:11:53 > 0:11:59Good run from Ben Nakubuwai. Fiji attack. Hayne. The short pass this
0:11:59 > 0:12:06time. It's a double movement. The try won't count. He has been denied
0:12:06 > 0:12:11for the second time in the match. Twice over the line. The first one
0:12:11 > 0:12:20dislodged. Lovely short ball from Hayne. So deserved the try too. The
0:12:20 > 0:12:25low tackle from Martin. Yes, he just wanted to reach out and assist
0:12:25 > 0:12:27himself after the arm carrying the football had already touched the
0:12:27 > 0:12:30ground.
0:12:32 > 0:12:39Can Fiji get over this time?
0:12:47 > 0:12:55Williame slots into dummy half this time. Hayne, good hands from him.
0:12:55 > 0:13:02Kikau! Has he lost the ball? I think he has. Offside play against New
0:13:02 > 0:13:08Zealand.Yeah the touch has come up with a call here. He said offside on
0:13:08 > 0:13:16the right.They're going for goal. You have to say Fiji are doing a
0:13:16 > 0:13:21little bit better.
0:13:32 > 0:13:38Milne takes over the kick. Important kick here. It's handy enough.
0:13:38 > 0:13:47Makes no mistake. Fiji reclaim the lead. 4-2.
0:13:53 > 0:14:02Nothing risky so far from New Zealand. The Kiwi chant goes up
0:14:02 > 0:14:11here. Martin! That is going to be a line drop out.Now the big players
0:14:11 > 0:14:24stand up. Milne, the combination is pretty easy. Only third tackle.
0:14:24 > 0:14:30Martin looks most likely to score. Hayne restarts play.
0:14:46 > 0:14:57Levi. Mannering. Good tackle, over the top. Nikorima. Johnson.
0:14:57 > 0:15:06Tuivasa-Sheck. It is just too long. Fiji getting close now. They will be
0:15:06 > 0:15:13in no hurry to restart this one. They have no other options once it
0:15:13 > 0:15:25was two on two. All he can do is kick it. They have the numbers here.
0:15:25 > 0:15:34He couldn't quite get the weight right. Fiji so close to making the
0:15:34 > 0:15:39semifinals. This looking like the second try less game in World Cup
0:15:39 > 0:15:47history. One more opportunity. I don't think there is any doubt he
0:15:47 > 0:15:53will bash this into touch. He doesn't. Tuivasa-Sheck.
0:15:53 > 0:16:09Tuivasa-Sheck in serious trouble. New Zealand have 98 metres to go.
0:16:09 > 0:16:23Fiji about to post a famous victory. Johnson with a Hail Mary kick. Fiji
0:16:23 > 0:16:30are into the semifinals, a famous victory here. Extraordinary match.
0:16:30 > 0:16:33Amazing scenes at Wellington, Fiji will play Australia in the
0:16:33 > 0:16:41semifinals. Tournament that started so promisingly for the New
0:16:41 > 0:16:47Zealanders ends in disaster. Fiji win 4-2.We surveyed a giant
0:16:47 > 0:16:53tonight, we have prepared for it all week and all tournament, we laid the
0:16:53 > 0:16:58foundations in 08 and we are seeing the fruits in 2017. It is an unreal
0:16:58 > 0:17:05feeling, it is unbelievable, it is something that you don't see very
0:17:05 > 0:17:09option.We played dumb in the first half, made too many errors and spent
0:17:09 > 0:17:13the whole half now try line. We came out better in the second half and
0:17:13 > 0:17:18got some go forward but it was a contest and we started slow and it
0:17:18 > 0:17:25cost us.I cannot question our effort and toughness. We were just
0:17:25 > 0:17:31missing the other part which was the smart part. You know, that's the
0:17:31 > 0:17:37thing we are working on this week. Credit to Fiji. They dug deep as
0:17:37 > 0:17:43well.Mate, it's undescribable, I'm so proud of these boys, I had the
0:17:43 > 0:17:46utmost belief in them from the moment we went into camp and never
0:17:46 > 0:17:49stopped believing and I always said we could win this game and it's a
0:17:49 > 0:17:51dream come true to get it done.
0:17:55 > 0:18:00Incredible scenes at the end of the game. Such an emotional win for the
0:18:00 > 0:18:06Fijians. I'm delighted to say that we can speak to Ashton Sims who was
0:18:06 > 0:18:11so central to that performance. Ashton, many congratulations. What a
0:18:11 > 0:18:18performance from you guys.It was great, we are still buzzing off it,
0:18:18 > 0:18:23against one of the top teams in the world. We have a lot of confidence
0:18:23 > 0:18:29coming into the game, in the games coming into which we scored a lot of
0:18:29 > 0:18:33points and it's been the cornerstone of our game. But tonight was a
0:18:33 > 0:18:38little different obviously, we showed grit and determination.
0:18:38 > 0:18:44Physically how tough was that for you guys?It was just both
0:18:44 > 0:18:48physically, emotionally and mentally, I've never been in a game
0:18:48 > 0:18:53where neither team has scored a try and to have the game 4-2 you could
0:18:53 > 0:19:00tell both teams' defence was really resilient and luckily tonight the
0:19:00 > 0:19:05rugby league guards fell in our favour.Ashton, Robbie Hunter-Paul
0:19:05 > 0:19:11here come I got to say I am heartbroken but congratulations.
0:19:11 > 0:19:15Just quickly, how important was it to win the physical battle upfront
0:19:15 > 0:19:19tonight? You guys seemed to be immense.It was huge, guys like
0:19:19 > 0:19:29minded Matel and the two big guys on the bench, Tucker and Nelson, he is
0:19:29 > 0:19:35going to have a huge career. We identified that as one of the spots
0:19:35 > 0:19:40on the field we needed to be good. I thought all of our forwards were
0:19:40 > 0:19:48exceptional tonight, special mention to the guys like Kikau, he will be a
0:19:48 > 0:19:52superstar and has a great head on his shoulders, as a back row player
0:19:52 > 0:19:57with ball skills and footwork at 120 kilos it is daunting for any
0:19:57 > 0:20:01opposition.It certainly is, Ashton. Amazing scenes in the dressing room
0:20:01 > 0:20:05afterwards. Such emotion. How do you go again next week to take on
0:20:05 > 0:20:10Australia?Honestly, it's easy to get up for games like that,
0:20:10 > 0:20:15especially with the squad we have this year, with the previous two
0:20:15 > 0:20:18World Cups we have not fared well against the Australians in the
0:20:18 > 0:20:22corresponding match. It is a bit of a short turnaround, which I think is
0:20:22 > 0:20:28a good thing, doesn't give you much time to think about how big a team
0:20:28 > 0:20:34we are playing and how big the match is. I know we are really up for it,
0:20:34 > 0:20:38we have guys here who are great leaders, Joe Haden and Kevin Naiqama
0:20:38 > 0:20:45and a few others who can write this ship. We are just going off the back
0:20:45 > 0:20:52of a lot of emotion. We will be ready come next Friday might.We
0:20:52 > 0:20:57will let you go to bed because it is to 30 AM in the morning for you.
0:20:57 > 0:21:01Many congratulations and good luck. I think I will be up for a little
0:21:01 > 0:21:07bit longer Ashe to 30 AM. Good to hear from you.
0:21:11 > 0:21:19Amazing for Fiji but, Robbie, it's all gone a little bit wrong.We can
0:21:19 > 0:21:22focus on what New Zealand did or didn't do right, or we can focus on
0:21:22 > 0:21:27what I thought really happened in their game. Fiji were up for it, I
0:21:27 > 0:21:31expected a backlash from the Tonga game last week against New Zealand,
0:21:31 > 0:21:35I thought New Zealand would prepare really well this week and come out
0:21:35 > 0:21:43all guns firing, quite the opposite, Fiji took the game to New Zealand.
0:21:43 > 0:21:47New Zealand in the opening 40 minutes, Adam Blair mentioned it,
0:21:47 > 0:21:51Shaun Johnson mentions it, they made ceremony mistakes, they were ill
0:21:51 > 0:21:57disciplined. A lot of it came down to pure fatigue. We were talking to
0:21:57 > 0:22:02Ashton right there. In games previous to this New Zealand were
0:22:02 > 0:22:05able to outmuscle them in the middle of the park and took passes like
0:22:05 > 0:22:10that where they promoted the ball, they have not got as many flies on
0:22:10 > 0:22:16them, as we say, and the pass is easy. Physically Fiji were strong
0:22:16 > 0:22:19and could match New Zealand if not being stronger than New Zealand. In
0:22:19 > 0:22:24the second half that is the tale of the first half, too much difference.
0:22:24 > 0:22:28Are they lacking leaders as well? Ashton talked about all the leaders
0:22:28 > 0:22:32they have got, I New Zealand lacking leaders, with the players that have
0:22:32 > 0:22:36gone off and those they didn't pick that were suspended?What I saw this
0:22:36 > 0:22:39morning was great leadership from the right people in the right places
0:22:39 > 0:22:49in the Fiji team with Jarryd Hayne and Corris -- Koroisau in the middle
0:22:49 > 0:22:53of the park, New Zealand is missing a general in the middle of the park.
0:22:53 > 0:23:00They have The X Factor but they need to sweep around. The other half with
0:23:00 > 0:23:04him was Nikorima last week. They are both new players and New Zealand has
0:23:04 > 0:23:07to build over the next couple of years, bring back a general to the
0:23:07 > 0:23:12team.New Zealand have lost their identity. We talk about New Zealand
0:23:12 > 0:23:15playing and off-load game and being powerful, but look down the team
0:23:15 > 0:23:20sheet and I don't see that within the team. If you can't do that
0:23:20 > 0:23:23again, off-load and play quickly, and haven't got any half-backs who
0:23:23 > 0:23:28are really dominant and you can build the team around, where is your
0:23:28 > 0:23:32identity? Physically New Zealand have been poor this tournament, they
0:23:32 > 0:23:35have disrespected possession, gifted other side is energy through being
0:23:35 > 0:23:39lacklustre with their control of the ball. Off the back of that they have
0:23:39 > 0:23:43been poor. I think they've had a poor World Cup. I thought they had
0:23:43 > 0:23:47more to come and on today's evidence I don't know as a country if they
0:23:47 > 0:23:51have more to come from this group of players.I agree with John. When we
0:23:51 > 0:23:55have seen New Zealand challenged they have crumbled, they haven't had
0:23:55 > 0:23:59the ability to continue in the fight. What we see with this Fiji
0:23:59 > 0:24:04team is it's that most well-balanced Fiji team they have produced.Ever?
0:24:04 > 0:24:09Ever. The progression from 2008 Jarryd Hayne alluded to in his
0:24:09 > 0:24:14interview, from 2008 up to 2017, they have improved and they have
0:24:14 > 0:24:17power all over the team. Well done to Fiji. Tonga have been
0:24:17 > 0:24:22the izakaya story of this petition, boosted by selection of star players
0:24:22 > 0:24:26with indigenous roots who have defected from New Zealand.
0:24:26 > 0:24:30The group stage win over The Kiwis will go down in rugby league history
0:24:30 > 0:24:34as the Tongans became the first second-tier team to defeat the top
0:24:34 > 0:24:40ranked nation in the World Cup.What a day for Tonga!Question is whether
0:24:40 > 0:24:43they can but the emotions of last week behind them to progress further
0:24:43 > 0:24:48in the competition. Lebanon entered the World Cup as the tournament's
0:24:48 > 0:24:54lowest ranked side but a group stage win against France saw them through
0:24:54 > 0:24:59to the knockout stage despite defeats subsequently to England.
0:25:03 > 0:25:08Hello and welcome to the Christchurch Stadium in New Zealand
0:25:08 > 0:25:14for Tonga against Lebanon. They will try to add to their legacy in the
0:25:14 > 0:25:19lamination contest this afternoon. This very experienced team with six
0:25:19 > 0:25:32Premiership brings in their match day 17, Fifita, prop of the year in
0:25:32 > 0:25:422016. This nine, Lichaa, Moses, 400 NRL games, experience in key
0:25:42 > 0:25:46positions.
0:26:07 > 0:26:13HAKA.
0:26:20 > 0:26:38A bit of cultural bonding. Very good carry. Havili. Fifita's first touch
0:26:38 > 0:26:51of the game. Getting the big front row down. Havili pinches easy
0:26:51 > 0:26:55metres. Down the right-hand side, Fusitu'a. One-on-one, two on one,
0:26:55 > 0:27:03shows the ball inside and it's going to be a lovely play on the right
0:27:03 > 0:27:10edge from Tonga by Lolohea. Good skill and awareness.The crowd goes
0:27:10 > 0:27:17wild, the right side attack. Fusitu'a, chasing through the
0:27:17 > 0:27:20middle, Lolohea. What a start for Tonga.
0:27:25 > 0:27:30It wasn't the start Lebanon were wanting. They have realised they've
0:27:30 > 0:27:44got to contain the first ten or 15 minutes. Lichaa. Ellaz. Lichaa.
0:27:44 > 0:27:48Robbie Farah, two runners inside looking for Moses, another behind
0:27:48 > 0:27:55play, now they have a chance, Lebanon. Terrific play from Doueihi,
0:27:55 > 0:28:00beautifully set up by Moses command Robbie Farah, nice and deceptive on
0:28:00 > 0:28:05the left edge.Defence has been a slight issue for them but this was
0:28:05 > 0:28:09exceptional work, Moses outside, look at the left footstep, great
0:28:09 > 0:28:14attacking set from Lebanon. That will build confidence for the side.
0:28:14 > 0:28:18But it was a simple set piece that has just brought in those players on
0:28:18 > 0:28:26the outside. Konrad Hurrell, Fusitu'a and Lolohea coming in and
0:28:26 > 0:28:33striking the combinations for Lebanon. Getting away from the first
0:28:33 > 0:28:37offender, he needs a couple more to come in. The play in front of the
0:28:37 > 0:28:46posts ten metres out. Havili. Onto the inside, Michael Jennings. Two
0:28:46 > 0:28:57and a half metres out.Havili goes behind, Lolohea. There is a chance
0:28:57 > 0:29:07for Fusitu'a. Yes! Fusitu'a on the right-hand side. Great skill and
0:29:07 > 0:29:13poise, and a great finish. Confidence is sky high. Let's see if
0:29:13 > 0:29:19Fusitu'a reached the line first and foremost. Does he get the ball down?
0:29:19 > 0:29:24Absolutely. Without fail Fusitu'a will score this try.The kick to
0:29:24 > 0:29:35come.Great work from the Tongan team, Lolohea combining with
0:29:35 > 0:29:42Hopoate. Putting down in the right-hand corner.Now Ma'u gets the
0:29:42 > 0:29:52team inside the 20 again. They have great field position. Havili. From a
0:29:52 > 0:29:55standing start, Hingano. Now they are eight metres short, and a
0:29:55 > 0:29:58penalty.
0:30:06 > 0:30:08Taumalolo.
0:30:10 > 0:30:12Havili.
0:30:15 > 0:30:22Hingano. They look at the left edge, Fifita loses his footing. They are
0:30:22 > 0:30:33in again, Tonga!It is a continuous flow from Tonga. Fifita, Taumalolo,
0:30:33 > 0:30:39straight into the hands of the experienced Hopoate. What a great
0:30:39 > 0:30:46kick. Confidence is high.
0:31:06 > 0:31:14Moses has opened up the tongian defence. Were they first to the
0:31:14 > 0:31:21ball? It looks like they were.
0:31:24 > 0:31:30Still no touch. Keep playing on with this angle, please. In control. The
0:31:30 > 0:31:34ball is grounded. That will be a try.
0:31:37 > 0:31:42He's been spooked by the Tongan kick pressure. A little bit of luck to
0:31:42 > 0:31:50get the ricochet. They've chased it through and Elias gets the try.
0:31:50 > 0:31:5716-12.For the Tongans watching this game, they're starting to get a bit
0:31:57 > 0:32:05nervous now. Hats off to the way Lebanon are playing.
0:32:14 > 0:32:24What about that! . 6'7" on one wing, 6'6" on the other. Great hang time.
0:32:24 > 0:32:29Great hands for Fusitu'a to get a double.The pin point kicking here
0:32:29 > 0:32:33has been fantastic. There's no better player in the air, scoring
0:32:33 > 0:32:39tries near the flag or jumping up, the aerodynamics of this man is
0:32:39 > 0:32:46fantastic. Three tries last week. Two in today's match.
0:33:12 > 0:33:19Did he get it down? He celebrates like he has. If there's one player
0:33:19 > 0:33:32on the park who deserves a try it's him.Tremendous opening 40 minutes.
0:33:32 > 0:33:45It has been a seven-try spectacular. We go into halftime, 22-16.
0:34:00 > 0:34:07There it is! The combination of Robbie Farah and Mitchell Moses
0:34:07 > 0:34:12creating magic.I have a try. Want to make sure there's no obstruction
0:34:12 > 0:34:19from the lead runner on the inside this afternoon play.
0:34:19 > 0:34:25He stops in that line. 18 then has to adjust and get across to him.
0:34:25 > 0:34:30Therefore, I'm going to overturn this and give - I am overturning the
0:34:30 > 0:34:36decision, yes.I thought it was the right decision. It stops the
0:34:36 > 0:34:45defensive players coming across and filling in that hole.
0:35:13 > 0:35:19And the penalty.Sika Mannah powering through the -- Manu
0:35:19 > 0:35:26powering through the middle. He gets the penalty. The line all over him.
0:35:26 > 0:35:30Manu pushes it out to an eight-point lead. They get the ball back after
0:35:30 > 0:35:35kickoff.
0:35:40 > 0:35:45They say it's not how long you have the ball, it's what you do with it.
0:35:45 > 0:35:50Moses has it again. Too strong. Too quick. Did he hold onto the ball?
0:35:50 > 0:35:58No, he didn't! He deserved it. He has been such an instigator and
0:35:58 > 0:36:04initiator of the Lebanon attack today. He's seemingly at his best
0:36:04 > 0:36:09when there's nothing on.
0:36:18 > 0:36:24A good read from the Tongan defence on that occasion.
0:36:54 > 0:36:58Sensational try from Lebanon. They are back. They are well and truly
0:36:58 > 0:37:06back. Absolute spectacular play. Surprising football from Lebanon.
0:37:06 > 0:37:14Farah, Moses, all in play. They bullied the off-load and carried.
0:37:14 > 0:37:17It's been a feature of their game. They're back in the game.Isn't he
0:37:17 > 0:37:32happy. So he should be. It can't get any better for Mitchell Moses.
0:37:32 > 0:37:35They've given every option for these players to play as they see it.What
0:37:35 > 0:37:40a contest and what a match.
0:37:42 > 0:37:47The ball goes behind. The referee says play on. Moses has kicked the
0:37:47 > 0:37:58ball away. Mitchell Moses. Big decision at the end from Moses.
0:37:59 > 0:38:05Thought he was going to get a penalty and Tonga will hang on to
0:38:05 > 0:38:10take this out. The last 15 seconds. What a game. What a contest. What a
0:38:10 > 0:38:16tournament. They will be very, very popular semifinalists, the kingdom
0:38:16 > 0:38:21of tong ya, first time into the quarter final, along with Lebanon
0:38:21 > 0:38:28and now first time into the semifinal. 24-22, Tonga over
0:38:28 > 0:38:30Lebanon.
0:38:30 > 0:38:33semifinal. 24-22, Tonga over Lebanon.I'm pretty heartbroken at
0:38:33 > 0:38:41the moment. Stayed in the game for 80 minutes, a few calls didn't go
0:38:41 > 0:38:45our way. I think there's a try opportunity there. We had those
0:38:45 > 0:38:54calls not go our way the whole tournament. We hold our heads high.
0:38:54 > 0:38:57It's gone against our team, whether it's tries against us or
0:38:57 > 0:39:04suspensions, whatever it's been. They've earned every sentiment on
0:39:04 > 0:39:08the footy field. They've been outstanding.Credit to Lebanon,
0:39:08 > 0:39:13they've had a really tough game. They played really well today. They
0:39:13 > 0:39:17gave it to us.Scrappy win, think I guess the positive today, there's
0:39:17 > 0:39:21always next week to improve on. We'll have to be better against
0:39:21 > 0:39:25whoever we're playing next week. Hopefully create history again and
0:39:25 > 0:39:31go, first team to make the Grand Final for Tonga.It almost feels
0:39:31 > 0:39:35like a losing dressing room. Our blokes realise we're well off the
0:39:35 > 0:39:38park today in terms of what we can be. We've got to be a lot better.
0:39:38 > 0:39:44I'd expect to get to Auckland next week. I don't know what the stadium
0:39:44 > 0:39:49holds, 25,000 to 30,000. I reckon it's going to be 25,000 Tongans. We
0:39:49 > 0:39:52want to encourage everybody to get there. That's going to be
0:39:52 > 0:39:55outstanding. That's something that will find some energy out of the
0:39:55 > 0:40:02boys as well.They've been a real credit to the tournament, Lebanon.
0:40:02 > 0:40:05Fittler and Moses presumably talking specifically about the try not given
0:40:05 > 0:40:09for obstruction. What was your view of it, is it obstruction and do we
0:40:09 > 0:40:15need to change this rule if it is? First thing is Manu takes himself
0:40:15 > 0:40:19out. That forces the Tongan line to work really hard to cover this play.
0:40:19 > 0:40:23My issue is that technically, yes, it's obstruction. The Tongan
0:40:23 > 0:40:24defender from
0:40:24 > 0:40:26it's obstruction. The Tongan defender from the inside is blocked.
0:40:26 > 0:40:30But it's caused by actually what was the fundamentally a lazy decision by
0:40:30 > 0:40:34the Tongan defence. Manu commits himself. Probably not needed. If you
0:40:34 > 0:40:39give this try, it encourages that defender to be on his toes and work
0:40:39 > 0:40:45hard. What that disallowed try it encourages play acting and lazy
0:40:45 > 0:40:52defence. Technically he was right. Technically you can find a penalty
0:40:52 > 0:40:57in every single tackle, technically. It comes down to just perception
0:40:57 > 0:41:01really and what they decide. It was an important call. A game breaking
0:41:01 > 0:41:06call.It's happened. Did Tonga look tired after last week?I wouldn't
0:41:06 > 0:41:08say they looked tired. They didn't seem to have the same energy about
0:41:08 > 0:41:14them. Probably because they came to the game as favourites. Lebanon came
0:41:14 > 0:41:19in with nothing to lose. They took it to them. A lit bit of complacency
0:41:19 > 0:41:22in that performance. They didn't have the same energy levels and
0:41:22 > 0:41:25spark that they showed from the week before.They got through, you know.
0:41:25 > 0:41:30All they had to do was win the game. Now they're in it to win the
0:41:30 > 0:41:34competition. That's all they needed to do. I think he alluded to the
0:41:34 > 0:41:37fact that they were disappointed and down. That maybe shows where the
0:41:37 > 0:41:40aspiration of Tonga lies in this tournament. They want to go on and
0:41:40 > 0:41:42do something. They've got through this round. It's tricky. They were
0:41:42 > 0:41:46always going to have a tricky game here and there, but they're in the
0:41:46 > 0:41:52hat. I tell you what, the sides left will not be happy about having to
0:41:52 > 0:41:56face Tonga.I think we also do Lebanon a disservice. They've grown
0:41:56 > 0:41:59stronger and stronger throughout this tournament. They've played a
0:41:59 > 0:42:02clinical game. They knew exactly where they were going. When they got
0:42:02 > 0:42:06into position to score tries, actually put points on the board,
0:42:06 > 0:42:08Mitchell Moses himself, personally, has been outstanding this whole
0:42:08 > 0:42:14tournament. I think he's a player that -They need to hang onto him,
0:42:14 > 0:42:21next World Cup he could be in the Aussie ranks.Yeah I'm sure he'll
0:42:21 > 0:42:26put his name forward. He's definitely a stand out for the
0:42:26 > 0:42:29future;New Zealand could do with Mitchell Moses, England could do
0:42:29 > 0:42:33with him. Every team could do with him.We're going to be cloning him
0:42:33 > 0:42:36ahead of the 2021 World Cup. This is how next week's semifinals are
0:42:36 > 0:42:43shaping up:
0:42:53 > 0:42:57The Rugby Union follows us next on BBC One. Wales take on Georgia in
0:42:57 > 0:43:02the Autumn internationals. You can see England's quarter final clash

0:43:30 > 0:43:33Getting ready for bet at a regular time is one of the most important
0:43:33 > 0:43:42habits you can learn.Good night, David.In sleep the muscles of the
0:43:42 > 0:43:47body are relaxed. It's the most perfect way to relax that we have.
0:43:47 > 0:43:57Good night Vienna.Dreams are normal too.
0:44:05 > 0:44:06England's impressive form continues.
