Tonga league coach

Tonga league coach expects star players to stay

Taumalolo was one of four high profile players to turn down the Kiwis in order to represent Tonga at the World Cup, alongside Siosiua Taukeiaho, Manu Ma'u and David Fusitu'a, while Fifita switched allegiance from Australia.

The Kingdom bowed out of the World Cup in controversial fashion after being denied a match-winning try in the final act of their sold out semifinal against England in Auckland on Saturday.

But Kristian Woolf doesn't think that will be the last time most of his players pull on the red and white.
