Ikale Tahi players battling for Rugby World Cup spots

'Ikale Tahi players battling for spots in the Rugby World Cup squad for France will have two Test matches against the visiting Canadian team to cement their claims.

Tongan head coach Toutai Kefu says he has a fair idea of who he will take to France but has to see some players whose fitness is fifty-fifty at the moment.

The two matches against Canada, on Thursday and Tuesday, will be the last opportunity for players to impress.

The Tonga Rugby Union expects to announce the 33-member squad for the World Cup next Wednesday.
