Wild celebrations followed Tonga’s narrow rugby league victory over the Kiwis last night, with thousands lining the streets of Ōtāhuhu.
Fans gathered on Atkinson Avenue last night, waving flags, dancing and blasting music until around 2am.
Tonga claimed a sensational 25-24 win over the Kiwis at Go Media Stadium to progress to the Pacific Championships final against Australia.
Families danced on footpaths while fans hung out of car windows, holding the red-and-white flag of their home country.
