First RWC for Tongan halfback

A calming factor in a daunting prospect for Tongan halfback Taniela Moa.

Moa makes his Rugby World Cup 2011 debut in the tournament opener against the favored All Blacks side tonight.

But the former Blues and Auckland halfback said he's not daunted, thanks to the game being played at Eden Park.

He said he knows the ground, the crowd and is expecting a lot of Tongan support.

Tongan captain Finau Maka has been cleared to play having overcome a tight Achilles.

You can catch Ilivasi Tabua with the new voice of rugby, Malakai Veisamasama for the live commentary of the All Blacks vs Tonga match at 8.30 tonight on Viti FM.
