The Ikale Tahi (Sea Eagles) of Tonga have been a force in Pacific Island rugby for decades, regularly punching above their weight at RWCs.
I can't 100% verify this as match-worn, however I've had another verified #14 from 2000 in exactly the same design. That jersey was worn against the All Blacks at North Harbour Stadium in their infamous 102-0 on 16 June 2000. It remains one of the heaviest defeats in test rugby history, with the All Blacks running in 16 unanswered tries. M Molotika wore 18 on that day.
So certainly this is a player/team-issued jersey from 2000. A piece of international rugby history!
