Warriors and Tonga front-rower Addin Fonua Blake wants more NRL talent to switch test allegiances to their Pacific island of heritage

Roger Tuivasa-Sheck is yet to confirm whether he'll continue representing the Kiwis or play for Toa Samoa if selected for the international window.

Teammate Dallin Watene-Zelezniak chose Tonga over the Kiwis last year before surgery ruled him out.

Fonua-Blake says a Tuivasa-Sheck switch would benefit the world game.
