Pretty handy.
Their problem is inexperience and what that will mean defensively under pressure. Certainly having all those build up games will prep them somewhat for the Clash most are predicting will eventuate between them and NZ.
They also have un heralded halves , otherwise Tonga's Forward pack and three Quarter line on attack goes very close to shaving the big threes offerings / very little between them.
They've got ex NZ and Kangaroo Forwards
Hooker ( Havili ) is their least experienced player ( NZ Warriors U20's hooker ) he is a big explosive runner for a hooker with good hands and is an outside possible to make the NRL side 2014
Taufua as you've said is Quality , powerful Wing.
The strongest player in that team pound for pound is young NZWarrior Konrad Hurell , inside the 20meter Zone it's rare to see him stopped by anyone when he hits the ball at pace , that Power lifting rep background of his makes hm a freak.
His possible Partner is Mahe Fonua who is reared in the Storm system and scored the Try of the year , another dynamo.
At Full back they have Glen Fisiahi the Warriors Wing and now pushed down to 3rd choice fb with the arrival of Tomkins.
Fisaiahi , nickname ' the flying fish ' will go close to being the fastest man at the tournament.
Tonga are loaded with star attacking Weapons in their own right in the NRL system so it will be very interesting to see how good they knit together before take it out on NZ.
