As the excitement builds towards Rugby World Cup kickoff on September 18th, World Rugby have provided a quick look at a memorable try from the 2007 edition, as Tonga came close to upsetting eventual champions, South Africa.
Viliami Vaki finished the try but the Tongan effort started way back and gave South Africa, who had opted to field a second string outfit, a real scare late in the pool stages.
South Africa hung on to win 30-25, thanks to their big guns coming on late in the game.
This year Tonga are in Pool C alongside Argentina, Georgia, Namibia and New Zealand.
