Dragons trio continuing Gwent's Tongan tradition
Dragons backs Anzelo Tuitavuki, Fetuli Paea and Fine Inisi are the latest in a long line of southern hemisphere players to impact Gwent rugby.
Three Tongan rugby players, Fine Inisi, Fetuli Paea and Anzelo Tuitavuki, are set to play together for Dragons in the United Rugby Championship (URC) derby against Scarlets in Newport. The trio have strong ties to the Tongan community in Gwent, with Paea and Inisi marking their second season with Rodney Parade club. Tuitavuki, a summer signing, attracted attention from three defenders during his impressive debut in the round one draw at Benetton.
The players expressed motivation for strong seasons and hope to make the Tonga squad for the 2027 World Cup in Australia.
