Tonga coach Toutai Kefu has revealed that Charles Piutau is keen to represent the Pacific Islanders at the 2019 Rugby World Cup.
“I’ve spoken to him a few times and his brother as well – he’s very determined to play for Tonga so we’re very happy about that,” he said.
The 26-year-old earned 17 test caps for New Zealand between 2013 and 2015, but was overlooked for the last World Cup squad after signing for Ulster.
