International Rep weekend

[Aucklander]

While the Aussies are belting the crap out of each other on Sunday night in Perth, a group of countries will go toe to toe against one another this weekend as the code celebrates its diverse nature.

First up though on Friday night we have the ladies SoO with NSW v QLD at North Sydney Oval.

On Saturday the Kiwis play host to Tonga in a game which should be full of great action. The Kiwis will be desperate to start regaining some of the prestige they've lost since the last World Cup which was a disaster.

Teams are here.

New Zealand v Tonga

New Zealand versus Tonga match centre includes live scores and updates. Includes official live player and team stats. Run metres, fantasy points scoring.

The 2nd game has Fiji playing Lebanon. The line ups probably suggest a Fijian win.

Teams here.

Finally we have Samoa v PNG. Don't know a lot about PNG and on paper Samoa look the stronger of the two. Should be a physical game.

Teams here.

Samoa v Papua New Guinea

As usual, Australian refs will control all the games.

Good luck to all sides.

Also a womens international Nz v Somoa before the men's NZ v Tonga.

And South Africa v Cook Islands Friday night in Western Sydney.

Great weekend to come. The international games are really taking off. Lots of good match ups at the end of the year too.

As usual, Australian refs will control all the games.

Are NRL rules and RLIF rules still different?

Edit: Only 1 referee which I guess answers that.

Visibly below NRL standard. Won't watch the following games.
