Tongan players have denounced the decision to allow their Pacific Nations Cup game against Samoa to go ahead in atrocious conditions in Apia.
Samoa won 27‑15 at Apia Park on Saturday after Tonga had two players sin-binned.
Please @WorldRugby enlighten us all on what processes you took to allow this game to go ahead? My question is - if a tier 1 team was to play that day ,would the game still go on? #PlayerWelfare https://t.co/TwWkrqkn5N

But Tonga midfielder Cooper Vuna has criticized the conditions, saying no top tier nation would be expected to play on a pitch which degenerated into a muddy morass following torrential rain.
