The ‘Ikale Tahi will face Scotland, England, French Barbarians, and Romania during their European tour in October and November, Tonga Rugby Union CEO Peter Harding told Matangi Tonga today.
However, the team will be without Head Coach Toutai Kefu, who had surgery after he was stabbed during a home invasion in Brisbane last month. Toutai has recovered but will remain with his family.
“There will be no Head Coach on tour,” said Peter.
“I will announce staff next week and there will be a coaching co-ordinator in the group and Toutai will have continuous input throughout.”
The players will be announced at a later date.
The ‘Ikale Tahi European tour schedule follows:
- October 30: Scotland
- November 6: England
- November 13: French Barbarians
- November 20: Romania
