England v Tonga: Second Test

Live action from Huddersfield as England take on Tonga in the second Test of the first international series between the nations.

After the opening game at St Helens, all eyes will be on the John Smith’s Stadium as Shaun Wane’s side tussle again with a powerful Tongan side packed with NRL players as well as Super League stars such as St Helens’ Konrad Hurrell and the Giants’ Tuimoala Lolohea, who could feature on his home pitch.

Tonga are the first Pacific nation to play a full three-Test series against England, and prior to last week’s opener, the previous encounter between the sides came in an unforgettable World Cup semi-final in 2017. The Pacific Islanders were 20-0 down with only seven minutes remaining but fought back in stunning fashion and were only denied a remarkable win when they had a try disallowed in the final seconds.
