Another protest has been suggested by Tongans upset with their side's loss against England after about 4000 supporters yesterday flooded Auckland's CBD.
Yesterday's event was in response to Tonga's 20-18 Rugby League World Cup loss, in which a last-minute try by Andrew Fifita was disallowed by referee Matt Cecchin after an earlier knock-on.
Thousands came to Auckland's CBD wearing red and waving Tongan flags while singing hymns.
While some were protesting the referee's decision, others were simply celebrating how far their side had come.
There were no arrests, police said.
However, comments made on the event page for yesterday's protest early this morning suggest another, more serious protest could be in the works.
John Uele wrote "a lot has been sacrificed for this and we have come too far to let this go".
"The cause is a protest, not a celebration," Mr Uele wrote.

"We have to make sure they take our demands seriously."
Mr Uele said several Tongan lawyers are now looking into the case, and a Change.org petition to RLWC CEO Andrew Hill asking for the try to be looked into has now reached more than 54,000 signatures.
The protest is planned for the same place and same time as last night's protest - at The Cloud in Auckland at 6pm.
