Jason Taumalolo and the Tongan rugby league team will prepare for the Pacific Championships with an inspirational visit to Tonga for the first time in six years.

As the nation ramps up 150-year celebrations of the constitution, the Kristian Woolf-coached side will be in Tonga from October 14-18 before flying to Brisbane to prepare for the blockbuster clash at Suncorp Stadium against Samoa on October 26.  

The last time the Tongan side visited their homeland in 2019 was a momentous occasion after the team had beaten Great Britain and Australia in an historic double in New Zealand.
