It's only a game ...
England is hosting Tonga for a three match international series for the first time. Game One is today 22 October with Game Two on 28 October & Game Three on 4 November. In the Tongan side, there are two current Sea Eagles, Koula & Olakau'atu, and two former Sea Eagles, Latu Fainu & Suli. I don't know how the games can be watched in Australia - maybe on Fox. I am in India, so the games are on at a reasonable time, 7 pm or 8 pm. I also don't know how I can watch - maybe on BBC Player.
It's interesting that there is only one specialist winger, Tupou, in the Tonga squad. At this stage, he is in the reserves list for today's game. It is difficult to predict the final team. In the 17, there are 8 backs, including 4 centres, 3 halves & 1 fullback (Koula). Maybe Tupou will be promoted & a player like Suli, Lolohea, Hurrell or Fainu will be selected as 14?
The forwards could possibly be
8. AFB
9. Havili
10. Fotuaika
11. Kolamatangi
12. Kaufusi
13. Frizell
14.?
15. Olakau'atu
16. Eliesa Katoa
17. Sele
