Klemmer is one of the best ball-running props in the game while McLean and McGuire are both Test calibre, although arguably lacking a bit of fear factor at present – especially after McLean's injury-hampered season.
No such concerns for Tonga, however: Fifita is the most damaging prop in the game on his day while Taumalolo has arguably edged ahead of Sam Burgess when it comes to locks that opponents fear. Taukeiaho's stocks rose considerably this year as he nailed a starting gig at the Roosters and played a tremendous finals campaign on his way to a maiden premiership ring.
Verdict: this isTonga's biggest area of strength and the one department in which they have a clear and decisive edge over the Kangaroos.
