Tonga continues to countdown towards the 2011 Rugby World Cup, despite disruption off the field with Tonga Rugby Union head Bob Tuckey quitting.

Parliament had demanded he step down and on Thursday a petition was approved calling for a new chairman and a deputy chairman.

Tonga performed well at the recently completed Pacific Nations Cup however has been assured that the off-field saga will not affect their performance at the RWC.

The rugby World Cup will start on September 9th on New Zealand.
