FBC News reports the FNRL is anticipating an end of the year test between the Fiji Bati and the invitational Tonga side as a build-up to the Rugby League World Cup next year.
The International Rugby League has expelled Tonga after a long-running battle over governance, money and a threatened player boycott but FNRL interim chief executive Don Natabe said the IRL has adopted a structure that will allow Tonga to play Fiji as an invitational side.
