The Tongan Rugby Union’s image-rights dispute was adjourned in the High Court on 1 April 2019, after World Rugby opposed an enforcement application.

French media company SARL Team One Events is seeking to enforce a €143,000 judgment against the Union by redirecting money due to Tonga from World Rugby.

The company says the judgment arose from a dispute over sponsorship and image-rights arrangements, while World Rugby was given time to respond. The case was adjourned to a later date that month.
