Tonga edges Ireland at World Cup
Winger Esi Tonga scored a 73rd-minute try to give Tonga a 22-20 win
over Ireland in a Rugby League World Cup match at Parramatta Stadium on
Monday.
Winger Damien Blanch scored three tries for Ireland - all when then
Tongan team had a player in the sin-bin - to keep the prospect of an
upset alive until the end. In the 49th minute, Tonga five-eighth Feleti
Mateo was sin-binned for arguing with the referee. SYDNEY, AP
