Tonga faces tough Rugby League World Cup draw, including a key match against Samoa.
Tonga has been given a tough draw at next year's Rugby League World Cup, including a showdown with arch-rivals Samoa at Parramatta.
The Kristian Woolf-coached Tongans have been drawn in Group C, which means they play matches against Group B sides England, Samoa and Lebanon.
Their round three showdown with Samoa on November 1 at CommBank Stadium is set to be a sellout after 44,682 fans watched the Samoans beat Tonga 34-6 at Suncorp Stadium in this year's Pacific Cup.
