Premiership powerhouse Malakai Fekitoa has successfully made contact with his mother and the rest of his family after enduring 12 days of uncertainty regarding their safety.
The Wasps centre was born and raised in Tonga, one of the countries that has suffered the most following the eruption of underwater volcano Hunga Tonga–Hunga Haʻapai on January 14.
Most of the communications across Tonga's many islands were at least temporarily disrupted after the country was hit by waves reaching up to 15 metres in height.
