While MMT takes the loss tonight, much respect for Jason Taumalolo & the Tongan players who led the revolution in inspiring our Pasifika men playing in the NRL and Super League systems to play for their country of heritage.
🇼🇸🇹🇴🇨🇰🇵🇬🇫🇯
In 2019 when Tonga beat Australia for the first time ever in the Oceania Cup, Jason Taumalolo said he hoped the win would inspire other Pasifika players to play for their country of heritage.
We've seen that this year with many of the NRL top talent opting to play for @RLSamoa

An exposé into Te Kōhanga Reo Trust by @Mihi_Forbes and @huihoppa led to their acrimonious exit from Māori Television. The duo bounced back to form an award-winning media company bringing indigenous storytelling to mainstream audiences.
