Hooker Elvis Taione hopes a big year with new club Exeter Chiefs in the Aviva Premiership can help secure him a spot in the Tongan squad for next year's Rugby World Cup.
The 31-year-old is one of seven new signings brought to Sandy Park by head coach Rob Baxter this summer and already the experienced forward is setting his sights high ahead of the 2014/15 campaign.
Not only is Taione keen on playing a key role within Baxter's first-team make-up, but he hopes his on-field actions will be enough to put him in contention for the South Sea Islanders.

Drawing the predictable melange of charity shop jumpers and Doc Martens, Bombay Bicycle Club took centre stage at the Great Hall playing a sold out set in the halfway leg of their UK tour. Swept there on a compelling tide of nostalgia and elated on expectations of £23 tickets, that were needless to say; high.
The band have received heady mainstream success from album number four ‘So Long, See You Tomorrow’ with singles such as ‘Luna’ gracing the airwaves of the daytime Radio One playlist.
The set was a notch up in professionalism from the 2010 post ‘had the blues’ relative...
Exeter Chiefs will have a new look to their line-up as they prepare to resume Heineken Cup action at home to Glasgow Warriors tomorrow (3pm).
Just days after slipping to a narrow 19-16 defeat to London Wasps in the Aviva Premiership, head coach Rob Baxter has shuffled his pack as the Devon club look to keep alive their European dreams for another week at least.
Just four players - Tom Johnson, Henry Slade and Luke Arscott - remain in the starting line-up from that which took to the field from the outset at Adams Park last Sunday.
On 28 November the Cavern Cub will see two exciting new bands playing in one night. Both 'Nine Black Alps', a grunge-rocker group, and their supporting act, 'Then Thickens', have new singles coming out on 2 December produced by Leeds-based label 'Hatch Records'.
'Nine Black Alps' will coincide their new single with a short run of live dates in November, heading to Exeter, Manchester and London, among other venues.

The members have listened to interesting talks from Tom Lee and Alice Giles (of Bow YFC) ,about their recent trip to Amsterdam with the Devon YFC Travel Programme. At the following meeting, Richard Gibson of BBC2 ‘Toughest Place to be a farmer’ gave an inspiring talk on his time in Kenya. Tom Lee and Georgina Davie joined members from across the county at River Dart Country Park for the Devon YFC officer training weekend, where they took to the high ropes and other team...
Rob Baxter is never one to get carried away with victories, nor does he tend to go into his shell following any kind of setback.
Instead, the Exeter Chiefs head coach is happy for him and his team to 'carry on regardless' and right now that means 'more of the same' from the Devon club as they look to preserve their spot in the top four of the Aviva Premiership.
Four wins in six starts this term have put the Chiefs in a healthy position in English rugby's top flight and tomorrow night they will be looking to add the name of Sale Sharks to their list of seasonal scalps...
