Whakarāpopototia te tuhinga:  Kua whakapuaki a Newcastle i te hainatanga o te kaitākaro o Tonga, a Taione Vea mai i te kapa London Welsh. Ko te 26 tau te pakeke o Auckland, kua wikitoria e ono nga kapa mo Tonga, ka uru atu ki nga Falcons mo te rua tau mo te wa mo te 2015-16. I kii te kaiwhakahaere o te whutupaoro o Newcastle a Dean Richards mo te whutupaoro o mua o Wasps me North Harbour: 'Kei te harikoa matou ki te whakauru atu ki a Taione ki te roopu mo te tau e whai ake nei. He kaituku kounga ia, he kaituku nui, ā, he rite tonu tōna kaha ki te mahi i ngā mahi kore. Kua haina a Taione Vea (pokapū) mō Newcastle Falcons mō te kirimana e rua tau mai i te karapu o nāianei a London Welsh. I pakaru a Vea i tētahi wero mō London Welsh ki a Northampton Saints i te tau kua hipa. 'I te mea he kaitākaro nō Tonga ia, ka kawea mai e ia he kaiārahi kaha, pūkenga hoki ki tō mātou rārangi tuatahi, ahakoa he tangata haehae ia, e mōhio ana ahau ka pai tana noho ki tō mātou kapa.' Ko te 6ft2in 20-kohatu Vea, i uru atu ki Ranana Welsh mai i Wasps i te raumati kua hipa, i kii: 'Kua korero ahau ki a Dean mo ana mahere mo Newcastle Falcons me tana tirohanga mo te waahi e haere ana te karapu ana he ahua rite ki tetahi mea e hiahia ana ahau ki te uru atu. 'He maha tonu aku mea e ako ana, e hiahia ana hoki ki te whiwhi wheako atu i te Pirimia, no reira kei te tumanako ahau ki te mahi i tera i Newcastle Falcons.' E ono ngā tukinga a Vea mō Tonga, ā, i tākaro i mua mō Wasps i mua i tana taenga atu ki London Welsh i te raumati o te tau kua hipa.
Kua hainatia e Newcastle a Tonga ki a Taione Vea mai i a London Welsh. E rua tau te roa o te kirimana a Falcons ki te kaitākaro 26-tau te pakeke mō te tau 2015-16. E whakamoemiti ana te kaiwhakahaere o te whutupaoro a Dean Richards i a ia hei 'kaikawe nui'
