Dragons RFC duo Fetuli Paea and Fine Inisi have been selected to represent Tonga in their upcoming fixture against Fiji.
The match will take place on Saturday (August 30) at HFC Bank Stadium in Suva, Fiji. With kick-off at 4am UK time, if you’re interested in watching our new signings play for their country get your alarms set early!
Paea will start at inside centre while Inisi will wear the 14 jersey. Tonga are going into this match with momentum after decisively beating Manu Samoa 30-16 in their most recent fixture.
The Pacific Nations Cup is comprised of six teams Tonga, Samoa, Fiji, Canada, USA and Japan with the six sides split evenly into two pools A and B. This will be the last match that Tonga plays within their pool and will soon face one of the teams from the other pool in play-offs.
We wish Paea and Inisi all the best and can’t wait to see them both in action again this weekend!
