Future Leicester Resident Solomone Kata is set to start for Tonga this weekend in the final round of the Pacific Nations Cup. 

The new Tigers signing will start on the right-wing for the ʻIkale Tahi as they take on fellow Pacific Islanders Samoa. 

Although primarily a centre, Kata is demonstrating the versatility he will offer Tigers, his elite athleticism and blend of pace and power sure to be an effective weapon in Dan McKellar's side. 

The match will take place at Apia Park, in the Samoan capital of Apia, with kick-off scheduled for 03:35 (BST).
