Tonga's 'Ikale Tahi will host the Flying Fijians in Gosford, Australia, tomorrow evening, June 10 at the Central Coast Stadium.

The Tongan national rugby team is making Gosford, in New South Wales its base during the Pacific Five National Tournament, which started last weekend, June 3 and will run until the final on the second weekend of July.

At the end of round one last weekend, Tonga was on top of the points table. The coach of the 'Ikale Tahi, Adam Leach, said at the end of their first game with Japan that their victory over Japan 57-16 was a good start to IRB Pacific 5 Nations Tournament. ...“Great to see our players come together in such a short period of time! Now looking forward to building up for the Fijian match in Gosford, Australia next Saturday....”

Despite the fact that Tonga achieved a huge victory over Japan, Tonga lose its captain Siua Taumalolo, who suffered a broken rib and will be out for the remainder of the tour, and Fangatapu 'Apikotoa has been flown over from Tonga to join the Tongan squad.
