Ireland scored eight tries to add to the 12 they produced against Romania last week to propel them into their third pool round clash against South Africa
Tonga coach Toutai Kefu praised Ireland as a "complete team" after watching his side suffer a 59-16 Rugby World Cup defeat to Andy Farrell's hopefuls."They're not a 60 point team better than us but we were our worst enemy, we made some poor execution mistakes and some poor decisions that probably inflated the score more than we would have liked," said Kefu.
"We've seen this team evolve over the last 12 months and they are a high quality team, that's why they're number one in the world. Kefu also believes that Ireland benefited from having had a run out last weekend, whereas this was Tonga's first game of the finals - and they were the last side to get a taste of the action.
