Manly Warringah Sea Eagles NRL players Tolu Koula and Haumole Olakau'atu have been selected to represent Tonga in the upcoming Test series against England.
This news was reported by seaeagles.com.au, a reliable source for rugby league updates.
Tonga will make history as the first Pacific nation to compete in a full three-Test series against England.
Both Koula and Olakau'atu have previously made their Test debuts for Tonga.
They played their first international match against New Zealand at Mt Smart Stadium in June of last year.
Following their debut, they also represented their country at the World Cup held in England.
Koula has played in three games for Tonga, while Olakauátu has played in two.
In addition to Koula and Olakau'atu, Latu Fainu, who will be leaving the Sea Eagles in November to join the Wests Tigers, has also been included in the Tongan squad.
This demonstrates the strength and talent of the Sea Eagles' players.
The Tongan team will assemble at Redcliffe this weekend to begin their training camp.
They will then depart for England next week to prepare for the Test series against England.
This is an exciting opportunity for the Tongan players to showcase their skills and represent their country on the international stage.
