Tonga announce Rugby World Cup squad

UK-based David Halaifonua, Sione Kalamafoni, Samisoni Fisilau, Aleki Lutui, Paula Ngauomo and Will Helu have been included in the 'Ikale Tahi's 30-man squad, along with Siale Piutau, who plies his trade in Japan.

All seven players have yet to feature for Tonga in 2015, having missed the Pacific Nations Cup.

Melbourne Rebels winger Telusa Veainu, centre Viliami Tahitu'a and locally-based halfback Sosefo Ma'ake have also been included, having made their international debut in the PNC.

One more player is still to be added to the final squad.
