"Union is my background but I've always wanted to play league and certain people have given me opportunities which I'm very grateful for which led me here. They commit totally against a big, physical team and again I'm proud of them. Early in the second half with Tonga cranking up the pressure Evans stopped Talakai in his tracks on the left edge and again the ball came free. Kyle Evans had a sensational debut for Wales, refusing to be overawed by the sight of Tongan powerhouse Siosifa Talakai bearing down on him.

'Best no try ever': Tonga flyer's stunning effort denied as Roosters star's hat-trick breaks 'brave' Wales.

“They gave a great account of themselves tonight and in that first 35 minutes they were dreaming of something special,” the commentator said. “That might have been better than Matt Burton’s, that was sensational,” the commentator said. “Tonga start the second half in impressive style,” the commentator said. The Tricolours winger later completed his hattrick off the back of a similar move, with Talakai holding the ball up allowing Tupou the charge towards the corner. In the 58th minute Tupou scored his second as the ball went through the hands to find the representative winger.

Six minutes into the second period Tonga fullback Tesi Niu beat five defenders to record the first points of the half. “Against the odds, Wales have the lead.” “And they deserve it, he hits Talakai with everything, that is probably the third time he has done that,” another commentator added. “12 months ago he had never played rugby league, how he is scoring a World Cup try for the Welsh rugby league side,” the commentator said.
