Tonga won 22-16
That group is very interesting now...
Italy and Scotland are both on a win and a draw and Tonga is on a win.
If Scotland lose to the USA they will be out. If Scotland win then Tonga is out. If Italy win, their points differential should be enough to get them through. If Scotland lose, the winner of Italy vs Tonga is through. If Italy and Tonga draw, Scotland will need to win.

Goals: Shaun Johnson 8
PNG 10
Tries: Dion Aiye, Wellington Albert

Jesse Bromwich played quite well. Although it looked like he may have hurt his shoulder in a tackle with 2 or 3 minutes to go. Although the commentators didn't mention anything. Hopefully it was just a stinger.
