Auckland-born Waikato prop Ben Tāmeifuna has been named in Tonga’s squad for tests against Georgia, the United States and Scotland, it has been confirmed today.

The 23-year old Tongan, who had been called into All Blacks’ training squad in 2012, was last month suspended for five weeks for pushing a referee out of his way during a provincial championship match.

Tāmeifuna will join his uncle ‘Alisona Taumālolo, who also represented the Chiefs in Super Rugby, in the ‘Īkale-Tahiʻs 31 squad.
