Twenty-five of the 33 players on the Tonga tour roster are with MLR clubs
Canada will have a sizable contingent from the Major League Rugby champion New England Free Jacks and the Toronto Arrows when it tours Tonga next month.
New England won 12 straight en route to the MLR title, a run that included an 80-5 road victory in Toronto on April 15. Rumball and LeSage will serve as co-captains for the tour, which marks Canada’s first action since November. Lock/flanker Callum Botchar and 6-foot-7, 273-pound lock Izzak Kelly play their club rugby in New Zealand for New Plymouth Old Boys and Spotswood United RFC, respectively.The tour roster was chosen from a 41-man long list. Matt Heaton, Matt Beukeboom, Kyle Baillie, Tyler Rowland, Reegan O’Gorman and Takoda McMullin are among those unavailable due to injury or other commitment.
The hard-hitting Pacific Islanders will be primed for Canada, following matches against No. 10 Japan, No. 12 Samoa and No. 13 Fiji. The Canada matches will be the first Tonga has hosted on home soil since 2017. The Tonga Rugby Union is also marking its centennial.
