Kangaroos test match

Mate Ma'a Tonga are ready for Australia

The match was only confirmed last month but all 30,000 tickets were snapped up three days out from kickoff, the first rugby league Test match between the two nations.

Tonga coach Kristian Woolf said the team is focused on the match and excited by the challenge in front of them.

"We know we're playing the best team in the world and they've been the best for a long time and they're the best for a reason."
