Tongans send Piutau off in style with win over United States

Tonga gave captain Siale Piutau a parting gift of a first victory of the Rugby World Cup with a 31-19 win over the United States on Sunday that left the Eagles pointless at the end of their campaign.

Match Commentary

81'		That's it for our live coverage, thanks for joining. Full-time \| After an exciting match at #RWCHanazono, it's @officialTongaRU who finish their #RWC2019 with a 31-19 win over @USARugby pic.twitter.com/DpCiujxJId — Rugby World Cup (@rugbyworldcup) October 13, 2019
81'		Try Tonga! That's the game and Tonga's first win of the 2019 Rugby World Cup! Instead of kicking for touch after the scrum and siren, a grubber kick finds Telusa Veainu and it's another five pointer. A quick check from the TMO before Siale Piutau converts in his last ever Test match to seal a 31-19 win over the USA.
