The strength of the recent Tongan team has not been people from the Islands, it's been primarily made up of NZ and Oz born players. The 2017 team only had four players born on the island. I think that had been reduced down to one for the 2019 team (ironically the one with a non Tongan name - Konrad Hurrell).There will still be plenty of players. They may not always beat Australia but they will be competitive. People will still migrate from the islands.
