LONDON (Reuters) - New Zealand will be looking for a complete performance to wrap up top spot in Pool C when they take on Tonga in Newcastle in their final Rugby World Cup group match on Friday evening.

The reigning champions have yet to hit top gear in wins over Argentina, Namibia and Georgia, so will be hoping to shake of the last of the rust at St James' Park, with France or Ireland waiting in the quarter-finals.
