Tonga is confident of a good outing against the Vodafone Flying Fijians this week as they have called on some experienced campaigners in their squad for the Pacific Nations Cup.

Captain Nili Latu, who is heading to Newcastle next season, says Fiji had a great start to their campaign and it will be hard to beat them.

However, the flanker believes they have prepared well.

Meanwhile, London Irish tighthead prop Halani Aulika has been named in Tonga's Pacific Nations Cup squad.

Kurt Morath is expected to pull the strings at flyhalf.

The Vodafone Flying Fijians will host Tonga in the opening Pacific Nations Cup clash at 3pm this Saturday at the ANZ Stadium and you can catch the live commentary on our sister station Viti FM.
