Last Updated: Mon, 4 Jul 2011 19:05:00 +1000

Tonga rugby coach Isitolo Maka says his team will not become over-confident after beating hosts Fiji in their game for the International Rugby Board Pacific Nations Cup.

Tonga and Samoa emerged the winners of the first round of the four-nation event, in games held in Fiji and Japan.

Maka says the 45-21 score did not reflect the closeness of the game, and says his team still has a lot of work to do.

Meanwhile, reigning title-holders Samoa defeated Japan in Tokyo 34-15, and go on to face the Tongans next week in round two.

Fiji take on Japan.

Both matches will be held in Suva.
