McCormack, a school teacher on holiday, said: "Many people didn't give us a chance looking at that Tonga team, who showed glimpses, but we found a way to win.
They blur the lines between social and school life creating real integrity issues — no parent wants to see their child 'like' a bikini shot of a teacher on holiday — with no audit trail or safeguarding".
