Sport: Motivation not a problem for 'Ikale Tahi

07:41 am on 23 June 2012

Tonga insist they won't be lacking for motivation in this afternoon's closing Pacific Nations Cup rugby clash against Fiji in Lautoka.

The 'Ikale Tahi won their most recent match against Japan two weeks ago but Samoa have already clinched the PNC title, after beating the host nation in Tokyo on Sunday.

Tonga captain Taniel Moa says the team has got better and better the more time they've spent together and he says they're determined to end their campaign on a winning note.

"Congratulations to Samoa but at the same time it's still a test for Tonga. We're playing here for our future so all the boys know what's going on and they're just looking forward for another test, and there will be an opportunity overseas for most of the local guys."

Taniela Moa - the match kicks off at 3-thirty local time.
