Lawyer Nalesoni Tupou

Legal expert taking action over Tonga's controversial loss

Barrister Nalesoni Tupou says he will be laying a formal complaint with the Rugby League World Cup authority regarding the refereeing in the match.  

"I will be asking them why there was no process to review or reconsider the decision by the referee."

The Tongan side were denied a match-winning try in the game's final play, when Australian referee Matt Cecchin ruled a knock-on, without consulting a video replay.
