As the Kiwis rugby league team survived a scare from a fired up Tongan side, one player impressed.

The Kiwis won 40-24 in Rotorua on Wednesday night but the game was level at 24-all in the second half and coach Stephen Kearney admits there are some concerns.

"We need to touch up on all areas if we're to be competitive next week."

The Kiwis have only ten days before they face Australia at the Four Nations tournament in England and France.

However, new centre Junior Sa'u did make a big impact and his coach was happy.

Kearney told ONE Sport, "Sa'u is the man...(he) really stepped up."

Sa'u plays in the NRL for the Newcastle Knights.
