Rugby: Sami gets World Cup call

The 27-year-old, who has won 15 caps for his country to date, has been selected for the second World Cup tournament in a row after making two appearances in New Zealand in 2011, and he joins former Reds hooker Elvis Taione (now of Exeter Chiefs) in the 30-man squad.

Tonga will face the Kiwis – the defending champions – in the group stages at England 2015, alongside Argentina, Georgia and Namibia.
