Tonga leaves the Rugby World Cup with a win after overpowering Romania 45-24 in their pool finale on Sunday.
Both teams were drowned by Ireland, South Africa and Scotland in the deepest pool of the tournament, but against each other the 'Ikale Tahi and Oaks found a contest in which they could express more of themselves and triggered an entertaining 10-try farewell.
Toutai Kefu, the former Wallabies World Cup winner, completed his second stint as coach with a smile. “It was so hard for us,” stand-in Romania captain Ovidiu Cojocaru said. “We are a young team, we are learning, and we are hopeful for the future.”Breaks by center George Moala and prop Ben Tameifuna — with a stutter step — then a Charles Piutau step and offload gave wing Solomone Kata the first try.
Romania caught a break when Tonga lock Leva Fifita was yellow-carded for a high tackle. The Oaks drove a lineout, the ball popped loose, and scrumhalf Florin Surugiu had to beat only two props to dart in for a first Rugby World Cup try in his retirement match.
