Fiji vs Tonga match to help Bati's 2017 campaign

Having made it to the semi finals of the past two Rugby League World Cup tournaments, Fiji will be looking to make the perfect preparation to their 2017 campaign with a win tonight in the Pacific tests.

Pulling off a shock 20‑18 win over Samoa in their most recent international fixture, coach Mick Potter will be hoping his side can replicate their efforts against a Tongan outfit packed with NRL stars.

With the likes of Akuila Uate, Suliasi Vunivalu, Waqa Blake and captain Kevin Naiqama lining up for the Bati, fans can expect plenty of enterprising ball movement and skill.

Fiji’s forward pack will have Korbin Sims, Kane Evans, the Safiti brothers and Viliame Kikau.

The Vodafone Fiji Bati will take on Tonga at 7.30 tonight while England will face Samoa at 9.40pm.

Meanwhile, the Kangaroos beat the Kiwis 30-12 in a one off league test last night.
