Cook Islands were very impressive in putting Papua New Guinea to the sword and they should be too strong for a Tonga team that has just one international win to their name.

Most would assume Tonga have a more decorated Rugby League pedigree but in the women’s game it is Cook Islands who have been around longer and achieved more.
Tonga have just a single Test win in their 14 internationals, a win over Niue, population less than 2000.
Cook Islands are 5-9-1 all-time and come off a 34-6 win against Papua New Guinea. They downed France at the 2022 World Cup.
Tonga ave more NRLW players – 15 v 10 for the Cook Islands – but very happy to be with the Moana in this one.
Same Game Multi
Kiana Takairangi is an elite veteran who made a surprise comeback to the NRLW this season with the Eels, scoring three tries in two appearances.
Paulina Morris-Ponga has plenty of speed and is one of Cook Islands most decorated athletes having represented the nation in rugby sevens and soccer. She comes off a hat-trick against Papua New Guinea.
Value Bet
Kerehitina Matua is an underrated forward from the Raiders who doesn’t score out of turn but can find her way to the tryline. She has scored twice in 20 games for the Raiders ad then scored last week for her nation. She has played centre and in the halves for her country so has the skills and speed to be dangerous.
