The ‘Ikale Tahi will take on Romania on Saturday November 20 in their last match of a challenging tour of the Northern Hemisphere.

The game will be held in Bucharest, at the Stadionul National Arcul de Triumf, kicking off at 5:30pm local time.

The ‘Ikale Tahi have lost three games over the last three weeks, against Scotland (60-14), England (69-3), and the French Barbarians (42-17).

It has been a challenging time for the players and staff who have gathered from nine countries, travelled through four countries, staying at five hotels and living in a COVID bubble to represent Tonga.

Tonga Rugby Union said the teams discipline in following the rules has kept the group safe.
