Siale Piutau has been called up to the Tonga squad ahead of Saturday’s international fixture versus Japan in Toulouse (5.15pm KO).
The centre – who delivered a man of the match performance against Rotherham Titans on his return from injury – is included for the Stade Ernest-Wallon clash and is set to add to his tally of thirty caps for Tonga.
The Pacific Islanders went down 27-24 to the Barbarians in Limerick last weekend.
