Pontypridd flanker Sion Parry has been called into Canada's squad for their upcoming tour to Tonga.

The 24-year-old openside qualifies through his Ontario-born mother and will hope to make his Test debut against Tonga on 10 and 15 August.

"It's a huge honour to be called up for international selection, a proud moment for me and my family," the carpenter told the Pontypridd RFC website.

"I'd like to thank Ponty for supporting me in this adventure."
