Poms full of respect

TONGA are far from a twoman band and England won’t be treating them as one in their World Cup semi-final, according to veteran prop James Graham.

The Tongans boast the firepower of NRL giants Jason Taumalolo and Andrew Fifita, who both switched their allegiance to the minnows before the tournament.

But Graham said there were plenty more threats in the Tongan line-up than that dynamic duo.

“I know how good Taumalolo and Fifita are from experience but there’s a lot more to this Tongan team than two forwards,” Graham said ahead of the semi-final clash in Auckland on Saturday.

“In the times I’ve seen them play they’re a good side from one to 17 so to single out two players I think is disrespectful to the rest.”
