Tonga and Samoa. It doesn’t get much bigger than that in international rugby league, with the two Pacific Islands nations to clash for a spot in the semi-finals at the 2022 Rugby League World Cup.

Zero Tackle will cover the game live on Monday morning from 1:30am (AEDT).

Tonga blitzed their way through Group D, although were hardly convincing until their final game. Still, three wins from three means they avoided England, who finished at the top of Group A.

Instead, they play the team that lost to the hosts in the opening game of the tournament in Samoa, who were otherwise fantastic, with the prize for the winner being a semi-final against the English.
