From Checkpoint, 5:19 pm on 22 June 2022

The streets of South Auckland are turning red this week as Tonga's national rugby league teams return to action against their New Zealand rivals.

Tongan fans have become renowned for their wild support of their teams - and Saturday's double-header at Mt Smart Stadium is expected to be no different.

A community event to ramp up the excitement is being held at the Ōtāhuhu Rugby League Club this afternoon - and joining us from the event is sports reporter Clay Wilson.
