Join us here for this afternoon's live blog of the rugby international between Wales and Tonga at Eden Park.

Wales include three new caps in their starting line-up and another six on the bench.

Flanker Thomas Young, a driving force for Aviva Premiership high-fliers Wasps this season, packs down in a forward line-up that sees surprise selection Seb Davies named at lock after having just 13 games for the Cardiff Blues.

In-form Scarlets wing Steff Evans joins a strong looking back division led by skipper Jamie Roberts.

Tonga, like Wales, have gone for a mix of Test stalwarts and rookies with veterans such as captain Siale Piutau and flanker Nili Latu alongside newcomers such as Nafi Tuitavake and prop Ben Tameifuna, the latter whom will make his long-awaited Test debut.
