A historic three-Test series between England & Tonga kicks off in St. Helens on Sunday, 22nd October at the Totally Wicked Stadium, with kick-off scheduled for 2:30pm!
More history will be made at the Saints’ home ground in our 150th anniversary year when the first-ever international series between England & Tonga kicks off. It is also the first time England and Tonga have met since 2017’s remarkable Rugby League World Cup Semi-Final in Auckland, which England won 20-18.
Former three-time Super League winning Head Coach of St.Helens, Kristian Woolf is in charge of the Tongan national team that boasts some outstanding rugby league talent from Super League and the NRL. Tonga will bring fierce passion, with the players on the field in action, including their pre-match Sipi Tau war dance. Whilst off the field, the supporters of Tonga will create an incredible atmosphere with plenty of noise and colour around the ground.
The match continues to close association of St.Helens with the Tongan RL team. The Club has helped to develop a series of initiatives to support Tonga in the aftermath of the devastating volcanic eruption in January 2022, as well as cheering on our own Tongan stars wearing the Red V including Konrad Hurrell, Will Hopoate and Agnatius Paasi.
Centres Hurrell & Hopoate have also been named in Woolf’s squad for this series!
The stage is set for a thrilling test series for Shaun Wane’s England and the chance for them to show their mettle against one of the very best sides in international Rugby League.
