The Western Force Super Rugby team is to host a Tongan Select XV in Mandurah next month.

The visiting side for the February 8 match will be made up of non-contracted Tongan-eligible players from Australia, New Zealand and Tonga.

Western Force Head Coach Michael Foley says the Tongan side will provide a solid final hit-out and a big physical challenge ahead of their Super Rugby season opener.
