Sione Vailanu on bench for Tonga in Bucharest

Warriors back-row forward Sione Vailanu has been named as a replacement for Tonga for Saturday’s international against Romania in Bucharest.

Vailanu won his eighth cap when he started against England at Twickenham two weeks ago which was his first since he joined Warriors from Wasps during the summer.

Vailanu was not involved in last week’s defeat by the French Barbarians in Lyon but returns to the squad for the final match of a busy autumn tour which has seen Tonga play four matches in different countries in as many weeks.
