Spain - Tonga as well!
29-20 to Spain, Tonga have some good players but have really struggled to make much of an impact over the last couple seasons. I wonder if this one was played outside the international window so some of their big names were gone - or if they're just a bit poop at the moment.
Ooh, I missed that one. Great for Spain, would be fantastic to see them make a world cup, or challenge Georgia in the tier 2 european chanpionship
Well they've qualified for the last 2 and then been kicked out due to some dumbass book keeping around eligibility so arguably they're better than some of the teams that made it in 2019 & 2023!
Lol, I'd forgotten about that. Once is a mistake, twice a farce
Yeah I think some people have argued that Spain were treated a little unfairly second time around as other teams had had similar iffy eligibility or something. I dunno - I haven't paid enough attention but yeah pretty silly.
