The Tonga National Schoolboys U-16 rugby league team lost their first game of their Australian tour to the Manly U-16 in Sydney.
Manly proved too strong for the Tongans, coming out 18-4 winners.
Team manager Fane Fangufangu Fituafe said it was a strong opening match for the visitors but they had learned from the game.
The Tongans next game will be against West Tigers U-16 in Sydney on Tuesday.
