Start writing here: 

 On Saturday the fourth of September the Tongan rugby league team was going to verse the New Zealand Kiwis. It was going to be held at Mt Smart stadium. 

David Fusitu’a led the tongan team out to the rugby field. When they ran out to the field the crowd went wild and they all started to say “Mate Ma'a Tonga!!!!”. The whole stateam was filled with excitement and only the colors of the tongan flag could be seen. 

The game started and the tongan team started off sloppy, they didn't make good pases, they didn't work together and they didn't go for the gaps. The tongan team's coach looked very anxious as he wanted his team to work together and focus.

The first half had finished and the Tongan team only got 1 try. The teams had to go to their coach and manager.  When the tongan team got to their coach and manager, David Fusitu’a said they can’t give up and the game isnt over. David Fusitu’a told the team that they need to work together, stay focused and play for their people and country. That inspired the team to keep on going. David Fusitu’a started to say “Mate Ma'a Tonga, Mate Ma'a Tonga!!!!” and the team joined in. The Tongan rugby league team won with a smashing points of 42.
