Match day roster named for Canada’s Men’s Rugby Team ahead of second test against Tonga
Canada’s roster for the second and final match at Teufaiva Stadium between Canada’s Men’s Rugby Team and Tonga has been named by Head Coach Kingsley Jones.

Tonga really dishing out the test debuts here. Chris Halaʻufia is 44 years old.
I can't find Vutulongo Puloka's name anywhere online; interestingly, one of the sponsors of the 'ikale Tahi is called Puloka Construction Limited. Coincidence?
And that's just two examples. -

And that's just two examples.Not to mention hooker Samiuela Moli starting on the blindside flank...

@Stargazer I don't think that's the same Chris Hala'ufia.
-
@African-Monkey You may be right. I couldn't find another one haha. Many unknown players in that squad.
Edit: I hope the commentators will tell us a bit more about these players.
-
@Stargazer 18. Paula Latu - probably the guy that played for MAC a few years back before getting signed for Southland. Don't think he made the Moana Pasifika team so that is a bit of a surprise.

@Stargazer Will the link for the live stream you provided for the last game work in NZ today given Sky seem to be televising live this afternoon?

@Stargazer Thank you, hopefully it won't be geoblocked here in NZ

Thanks for your help guys. It's not a major as I can watch it, hopefully the full game, on youtube later. If not then the highlights are sure to be posted and in all honesty judging by the first game last Thursday the game in it's entirety was not really worth watching anyway if the standard of play mirros that effort..

@Stargazer That's excellent to hear and presumably a vast improvement of their last effort even accounting for all the new guys they have starting today. Maybe Canada are also giving a lot of non regular starters a run today as well.

FT: Tonga 36 - 12 Canada
Tonga's second half points scorers:
Kyren Taumoefolau, Sam Moli tries.
Tonga imploded in the last 15 minutes or so, with all their local rookies on the field. Canada's left winger Isaac Olson scored Canada's only tries of their tour in the 65th and 78th minute.
