WALES rugby league players and fans were serenaded by Tonga supporters following their World Cup clash in St Helens on Monday night.

Last night's match at the Totally Wicked Stadium saw Tonga book their quarter-final place with a hard-fought 32-6 win over a resilient Welsh side.

And in a demonstration that the World Cup is about much more than just the sporting contests, footage of the wonderful moment outside the stadium has been shared.

Wales Rugby League posted a video on Instagram of their fans and players joining into a rendition of Tom Jones' Delilah along with the Tongan supporters.

Wales Rugby League posted: "A World Cup is about more than just the sport. Sing it loud".
