Tongan Schools U 18 rugby

Australian Schools Barbarians beat tenacious Tongans

After a week in a training camp at home the Tongan team arrived in Sydney and beat NSW Catholic Combined Colleges at TG Millner 45-8, and a Combined High Schools team at Newcastle 32-12.

The Aussie team had a three day camp last week and gave a good account of themselves given the short time they had together.

THE NEWINGTON CONNECTION

It was fitting that Tonga played this game at Newington College, because the school was founded by the Reverend James Egan Moulton in 1863 just before he took up a ministry in Tonga, where he founded Tupou College three years later.
