[QUOTE="Osezno, post: 895074, member: 73976"] Let me explain why Tonga played Spain in 2016: a private investor decided to promote an international test match in Anoeta, San Sebastián. World Rugby said they should host Tier 2 sides just to see how things went, then target Tier 1 sides in the future. And they were given Tonga and USA. Since the USA had games planned against Maori All Blacks and Romania prior to this game, Tonga needed to be found a test match. And as they were going to make the trip to Spain anyway and there weren't many potential rivals left, World Rugby sent them here. [/QUOTE]
