Tonga expelled from International Rugby League

18 February, 2020. The International Rugby League board has expelled Tonga from the sport's governing body, the latest move in a long-running battle over governance, money and a threatened player boycott.

The Tonga National Rugby League has been suspended since October, after it sacked national head coach Kristian Woolf over disagreements around control and finances, which led players to threaten a boycott of the World Cup 9s and end of season tests.

International Rugby League recommended a package of reforms for the sport in Tonga in December, at the end of a two-month investigation into the operation and governance of the game in the country.

At the time, global operations manager Danny Kazandjian said, "It was evident that the current governance model was capable of improvement to reflect the current circumstances of Tonga".
