  • Fiji beat Tonga 36-0 in their last meeting.
  • Tonga beat Australia A in their most recent match.

Head to Head


Fiji and Tonga have met on 93 occasions with the Fijians winning 63 and losing 27 times. There have been three drawn games.

Fiji Form


Fiji will come into this fixture with some confidence. They are always a team that plays with confidence, but the way their club, Fijian Drua performed during Super Rugby was admirable.

As a national side they have not played this year, however. At the end of last year, Fiji lost in Ireland and Scotland, but the performances was of a strong standard.

In the Pacific Nations Cup last year Fiji beat Tonga 36-0, although they lost the final to Samoa.

Fiji Team News


Fiji will be close to full strength for this clash.

Tonga Form


Tonga are a much talked about team over recent months as we head towards the World Cup. They are always competitive, especially against top-class opposition.

The difference this year is however the quality that Tonga have in their squad. World Rugby changed the rules that allow teams to pick players that had previously been selected for other nations, which means the likes of Folau is now in the Tonga fold.

Tonga also beat Australia A in their most recent match, a result that will give them plenty of confidence.

Tonga Team News


Tonga won’t have their full squad available for this encounter on Saturday. However, they should still put out a very strong side.

Verdict

Fiji are backed to win by more than seven points.
