Spain faces Tonga at 3.30pm local time tomorrow at Teufaiva Stadium. Fans can expect an exciting match between the closely ranked teams, Tonga at 16th and Spain at 19th in the World Rugby standings.
Led by captain Mario Pichardie, the Spanish squad, known as Los Leones, is confident following a strong performance against Samoa. Despite losing 34-30, Spain matched Samoa physically and showcased impressive form.
“Tonga don’t have the same qualities as Samoa. I fancy an upset win for the Spanish,” said a rugby analyst.
Tonga, on the other hand, have had a challenging run, losing four of their last five matches. Their recent 36-14 loss to Italy highlighted areas needing improvement, leading to expected team changes.
Spain, disqualified from the last World Cup due to a technicality, aims to make a statement against Tonga. They have shown decent form in the Rugby Europe competition, defeating Germany and Romania, and losing narrowly to Portugal.
