The Vodafone Flying Fijians are expecting Tonga to have similar attributes to Italy and Scotland ahead of this weekend’s Pacific Nations Cup clash.
Coach John McKee believes that the strength in the Tongan team is their forwards as they are expecting a brutal battle up front.
Tonga has some big names in their forwards including Ben Tameifuna, Steve Mafi, Nili Latu, Jack Ram and Highlanders prop Siua Halanukonuka.
Last weekend, Tonga dominated the breakdowns forcing Samoa into errors.
The Flying Fijians will take on Tonga at 2pm Saturday in Nuku’alofa.
