Despite going down 38 points to 18 to the French in Le Havre at the weekend, Wale’s defence coach Shaun Edwards says he was impressed by the Tongans after they were defeated.
The Tongans will meet Wales on Saturday (NZ time) as part of the 'Ikale Tahi's European Tour 2013.
Wale's coach Warren Gatland made 11 changes for the test at the Millennium Stadium.
Edwards however told Walesonline, “Tonga played with a lot of width against France".
“They do have structure and they are pretty well-coached and they have a plan.
“Yes, we do have to expect the unexpected at times, but they do have structure and they don’t make it up as they go along.”
Wale’s captain Ryan Jones told BBC Sport that “integrating the young players into the international game will be one of his key roles when he leads Wales against Tonga on Friday”.
"It's not about us going out there as 15 individuals all with a point to prove, it's the importance of being better collectively," added Jones.
"We've got to make sure we've got our accuracy, and more importantly collectively as a team that we get it right on the night, because that's where we've come unstuck in these fixtures before."
"We've paid them [Tonga] the respect they're due.
"They're going to be physical and uncompromising, they're going to like to hit targets – we know what's to come."
