Every time the Rugby League World Cup rolls around, we all utter the same three nations in unison.
'Australia, New Zealand, England'. Usually in that order.
Jason Taumalolo and Andrew Fifita's defection from Tier 1 nations to join Tonga had them uttered in fourth, while the amount to have jumped ship to Samoa will give them a massive boost this year.
But while we live to watch our nation succeed, it's hard not to crack a smile when one of the minnow nations snare an upset, or go almighty close to doing so. The underdog, the 'making up the numbers' sides, the ones you can't help but root for in a neutral contest.
Outside of the World Cup, we've seen some beauties. The Kangaroos last match was a standalone test defeat to the hands of Tonga in late 2019, a sour note for Australia to end on before COVID's reign began.
And you've got the 18-18 draw between Scotland and New Zealand at the 2016 Four Nations tournament, you can't help but get behind the little guy.
The little guy doesn't win often. Outside of the code, Japan's 34-32 victory over South Africa in the 2015 Rugby Union World Cup is still talked about today, seven years on.
They're few and far between, but these minnow performances are special all the same.
2. Tonga 28 - New Zealand 22
2017 Rugby League World Cup
An absolute classic encounter of modern day internationals.
This was the tournament where Jason Taumalolo and Andrew Fifita ditched the Kiwis and Kangaroos respectively in order to line up for a newly star-studded Tongan team.
While the pair stole the limelight after their defections, names like Michal Jennings, Daniel Tupou and Sio Siua Taukeiaho played their part in a topsy, turvy affair. While there was some pre-match hype about Tonga, New Zealand put it to bed quickly.
Carrying a 16-2 lead into the oranges break, the Kiwis were cruising when an apparently inspiring half-time speech from Kristian Woolf saw a different Tongan side in the second-half, one that would win that second 40 minute stint 26-6, dominating the Tier 1 nation.
A David Fusitu'a hat-trick stole the show but the biggest moment was an intercept try to Tui Lolohea, sending the crowd wild as Tonga were suddenly level at 16-16, and the rest is history.
