Tongan international Tevita Koloamatangi joins London Irish

London Irish have strengthened their back-row with the signing of Tongan international Tevita Koloamatangi until the end of the season.

Koloamatangi made nine appearances for the Chiefs including an outing in last year's stunning 40-7 win against a touring Wales side, the first time a New Zealand Super Rugby franchise had defeated an international team.

He is capped three-times by his country and could feature in next week's Championship fixture against London Scottish.
