Three former All Blacks and a former Wallaby could make their debut for Tonga in their Pacific Nations Cup opener against the Vodafone Flying Fijians this Saturday.

Following the changes in the eligibility rules earlier this year, Israel Folau, Malakai Fekitoa, Augustine Pulu and Charles Piutau are all part of the Tongan squad.

13 players are expected to make their debut for Tonga in the tournament.

The Flying Fijians will take on Tonga at 3.30pm Saturday at the ANZ Stadium.
