Penikolo Latu bullies Samoan fullback to set up superb individual try
- 1976
Tonga's Penikolo Latu scored the try of the match during Tonga's 28-18 win over Samoa in the Pacific Nations Cup in Suva. Hosts of the tournament, Fiji, went on to claim the title following their 37-15 victory over Georgia.
Replacement winger Latu did superbly well to make the big hit on Northampton Saint Ahsee Tuala, before having the presence of mind to get to his feet, steal the ball and then sprint in for the try.
Cooper Vuna and Viliami Lolohea scored Tonga's other tries, with Malani Mataveo and Ed Fidow scoring for the Samoans.Â
Tonga's manner of victory is all the more impressive cons…
