Garth Brennan has resigned as Tonga's coach at the upcoming World Cup 9s due to political infighting.
However, Brennan believed he would be working with Woolf, who was behind Tonga's rise at the 2017 World Cup to become an international powerhouse after convincing the likes of Fifita and Taumalolo to choose their nation of heritage over Australia and New Zealand. "When I was asked to do it I thought I was doing it as a bit of a favour to Kristian Woolf and I thought it would be a bit of fun and chance to get back involved in footy but when I found out how political it was I just felt that wasn't the best course for me at this point."
Former Kiwis coach Frank Endacott has been appointed to replace Woolf as coach for the two Tests but it is understood that he would be prepared to walk away for the good of the game if he believed his resignation was going to help resolve the dispute.

Israel Folau to make shock rugby league return with TongaIsrael Folau is banned by Rugby Australia and the NRL over his controversial social media posts — but he will return to international rugby league, playing for Tonga. What a joke So muslims want to put Aussies in jail for sex outside of marriage in Bali and I'm sure this includes gays. So the left call homophobic and hate but they want more muslims who if get the numbers will enforce such laws in AUS. LOL! This is how dumb people are these days. Good on him. :)
