Tonga's Ikale Tahi head coach Toutai Kefu believes his side will be packing some serious X-factor heading into the pool of death at the 2023 Rugby World Cup.
The Friendly Islanders are in pool C alongside champions South Africa, World number one ranked Ireland and Scotland and Romania.
But Kefu is confident in the calibre of players eligible to make the trip with him this year and says they are up for the challenge.
RNZ Pacific Senior Sports Journalist Iliesa Tora spoke with Toutai Kefu.
