Super Steve named for Yankee Test

Super Steve Mafi is set to make his 8th international appearance for Tonga as the Sea Eagles take on the United States of America in Colwyn Bay, North Wales.  The Tongans will be looking to set the record straight after a mid-week loss to Newcastle followed quickly after their close loss to Italy in Brescia.  However the USA are unlikely to provide as much as a test, they include Shawn Pittman at prop who is still without a club after his release from London Welsh this summer.
