Nili Latu returns to the Tonga lineup for Saturday's clash with the USA in Colwyn Bay, Wales.

Latu was under suspension last week and missed his team's narrow loss to Italy. He did start in a midweek loss to Newcastle.

Latu starts in place of Sione Vaiomo’unga in the #7 jersey. This is the only change from the team that pushed Italy close.

Two teammates will face off Saturday, as Tonga fullback Vungakoto Lilo and USA forward Inaki Basauri both play for Tarbes in the French Pro D2 league.
