Wales vs Tonga live stream: how to watch today's rugby union from anywhere

Rugby union powerhouses Wales and Tonga are set to have an almighty clash this Saturday in what should be a literally smashing game for the autumn internationals. And we'll tell you how to watch it from the comfort of your own sitting room (or, indeed, anywhere else) with a Wales vs Tonga live stream.

Wales currently has a completely unblemished record against Tonga, which they'll be confident of defending in this Cardiff clash. This is the first time the teams have met since the summer of 2017 when Wales beat Tonga 24-6 in Auckland.

Following a memorable win against Australia last week, Wales coach Warren Gatland has made a whopping 14 changes to the side. That means only one player, lock Adam Beard, will remain on the starting line-up. Ellis Jenkins (pictured) will captain the side that sees Jonah Holmes make his debut at full-back. Dan Biggar slots in at number 10, while wing Liam Williams earns his fiftieth cap.

But - to roll out the old cliche - Tonga are no mugs, coming off consecutive wins against Samoa and Fiji. Ospreys prop Ma'afu will be the only uncapped player in their XV. The only other starting line change is Castres lock Sitiveni Mafi repalacing Sam 'Ulufonua.
