Tonga are in Pool C alongside England, France, Argentina and the USA at the 2019 Rugby World Cup.

Tonga's Rugby World Cup squad delighted passengers and social media users alike with their singing as they flew into Sapporo for their opening match of the 2019 Rugby World Cup.

The Pacific Islanders will play 2003 champions England on Sunday in both teams' Pool C opener in Japan and appeared in excellent spirits upon arrival.

"Inflight entertainment on another level from @officialTongaRU," the tournament Twitter account posted.
