Tonga to start warm up for world cup in Europe

Tonga will start their 2011 Rugby World Cup warm up programme with two matches in Europe next month starting with Italy A.
Tonga will play Italy A and then the French Barbarians all in November next month.
The Tongan Rugby Union says the match against Italy A will take place on November the 19th and then on the 26th of November they will play the French Barbarians.
The International Rugby Board has arranged the tour through a program to help Tier 2 rugby nations prepare for next year's Rugby World Cup in New Zealand.
Tonga are currently ranked 16th in the world but will open their Rugby World Cup campaign in Auckland New Zealand against New Zealand on September the 9th in the tournament opener.
