Tonga v. Japan Mens Open

We became friends with the Tongan Mens team over the course of the tournament. We shared accommodation with them, and our two teams really grew close over shared meals and socials. Which made watching this game tough, because we also had many friends in the Japanese team, who we've got to know over the years.
