Five more Rabbitohs players have been called up to represent Tonga, Fiji, and the Cook Islands in the upcoming Pacific Championships, set to kick off in October.
Keaon Koloamatangi and Siliva Havili have been selected for Mate Ma’a Tonga, Taane Milne and Bayleigh Bentley-Hape will represent the Fiji Bati, and Davvy Moale has earned selection for the Cook Islands squad.
These five join Rabbitohs captain Cameron Murray, who was named in the Australian Kangaroos squad earlier this week, as part of the Pacific Championships lineup.
The 2024 Men’s tournament will once again feature two divisions with top ranked nations Australia, New Zealand and Tonga to contest the Cup while Fiji, Papua New Guinea (PNG) and Cook Islands will face-off for the Bowl.
