Kotoni Ale (26) who recovered from a shocking leg injury is the latest to join the ‘Ikale Tahi Squad on their November European Tour, where they will play three test matches against Spain, USA and Italy.

A Manly Marlins backrower in Australia, Kotoni's selection comes after recovering from the shocking leg injury he had sustained while playing against Warrignah in May last year.

Media reported he received the late call up from Tonga's national rugby team last week. He flew out of Australia in the weekend for Madrid, Spain, where the 'Ikale Tahi are in training camp.

In October, 'Ikale Tahi coach Toutai Kefu announced his squad to be led by Siale Piutau as captain.

The Tongans arrived in Madrid on 30 October.
