Tonga beat USA

Viliami Iongi scored four tries as Tonga tore the USA apart in a 44-13 scoreline in their Churchill Cup clash at Esher on Wednesday.

The Brumbies Academy winger showed plenty of class, going over for two tries in each half as Tonga turned a 13-10 half-time lead into a canter.

USA and Canada last met in the 2007 World Cup in France when Tonga won 25-15 -- but this ranking Test match was far from a close game.

Pasuka Mapakaitolo also crossed while former Dragon Paul Emerick scored their opponents' only try.
