The Ikale Tahi Tonga coaching staff will opt for a stronger lineup than the one that beat Fiji in the Pacific Nations Cup last month.

Coach Isitolo Maka and technical adviser Toutai Kefu have welcomed the services of overseas based players, Aleki Lutui, Taniela Moa and Taufa’ao Filise into the side for this weekend.

Maka will give all of his new inclusions a chance on Saturday to prove whether they will make the trip to the RWC in New Zealand.

Both the Fiji and Tonga teams will make changes to their lineup from the sides that played earlier in the PNC.

Fiji will take on Tonga at 3.30pm at Churchill Park in Lautoka on Saturday and you can catch the live commentary on our sister station Viti FM.
