  1. Was at the Samoa v South Africa game in 2011 – you could FEEL the hits in the stand. I wound up the South Africans by wearing a Samoan top and my kilt – great night after the game with both sets of fans: Jock le Coq 🤗🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿

  2. Samoans are an amazing group of people, I got educated on that years ago. A very kind and gentle people unless you mistreat them. I wasn’t one for watching rugby, but I have recently and these men make it worth watching.

  3. James mconie is such a nice & humble young man. Treats everyone the same. As a poly he never treated me any different from his own race. Would always say hi or smile when he’d visit our workplace.

  4. I lived in Aufaga Village for almost two years when I was a kid in the 90s. I was just a random palagi there. But hearing all of those hyena laughs in the pool after the tackle made me chuckle as well. Nothing like a pack of Samoans who can't quit laughing.

  5. Much respect to the reporter. This is actually great journalism. He modifies his demeanor to get his subject to share their true nature. He gets his subject to believe that he is "on their side" by humanizing himself. Not in a manipulative sense, its just good people skills.

  6. The really scary part about Samoans is that they look like that at 12 years of age. The other kids get to run down the field while they score try after try 😉

  7. Tuilagi will always be a hero to me for purposefully smashing Horan. The best thing about that was that not Horan carried the ball, but Tuilagi himself did. Legendary stuff.
