Telusa Veainu will make his test debut for Tonga this weekend after being named on the right wing for their Pacific Nations Cup opener against Fiji in Suva.
The 24 year old is the only new face in the 'Ikale Tahi starting side and joins Fetu'u Vainikolo and Vunga Lilo in a potent back three.
Romania-based hooker Sosefo Sakalia is also poised to make his test debut off the bench.
