North-West bulldoze Tonga

THURSDAY, 10.00AM:

NORTH-WEST bulldozed their way through Tongan ranks in their rugby clash at Olen Park in Potchefstroom on Wednesday night, winning 46-6 in freezing cold weather.

The Tongans, who have been on a winning streak against Namibia and Zimbabwe for the past two weeks, only managed to get two penalites, both by Gustavo Tonga. North West responded with seven tries, four conversions and a penalty.
