England will host Tonga in a three-match Test series in October. The three-Test series will kick off at Totally Wicked Stadium October 22 before matches are played at Huddersfield (October 28) and Leeds (November 4).
"They’ve been a real success story on the international stage in recent years, building on their exploits at the 2017 World Cup, and they will offer a real test.
"It’s also a great opportunity for us to get three high-quality Test Matches under our belt as we continue to push towards the next World Cup in 2025. Tonga’s last game in England was November’s World Cup quarter-final against Samoa at Warrington’s Halliwell Jones Stadium – one of the highlights of the tournament both on and off the pitch.
“There is no doubt that this is another historic moment for Tongan Rugby League. This will be the first time one of the Pacific Nations has been invited to play in a full three-Test series against England, in the place where our great game began," Woolf said.
