Tonga and Samoa perform pre-match war dances just inches apart before hugging

Tonga and Samoa performed their pre-match war dances simultaneously and barely inches apart in the Rugby League World Cup semi-final.

The competition has taken place in England this year, and kicked off last month. It has now reached the semi-final stage, and there were a collection of quarter-final games that took place last weekend.

The pick of the bunch was Tonga v Samoa at Halliwell Jones Stadium in Warrington on Sunday. Apart from being a classic match itself, it's what happened before the game that has captured the attention of social media.
