The All Blacks are aware their own supporters could be outnumbered by Tongan fans as the two sides meet in a test match this afternoon.

The All Blacks are hosting Tonga at home for the first time since the 2011 Rugby World Cup and prop Angus Ta'avao says that the side are expecting more fanatical support for their opposition.

Ta'avao says Tonga fans are so passionate and they are expecting it almost to be 50‑50 if not more Tongan supporters.

The All Blacks take on Tonga at 2.35pm in Hamilton.
