Lea'aetoa actually isnt playing this game due to a death in the family. Semisi Telefoni is his replacement

I went to school with Samiu Vahafolau in NZ. He was a bloody huge bastard for a 17 yr old. And f**kn fast.

He scored an amazing try for the Blues back when he was warming the bench for them...didn't realise he was still playing.

Brilliant Game

Tonga took the early lead. Then Caucau scored for the France Barbarians and took a commanding 27-9. Then Tonga miraculously found some fitness late in the game, and scored 3 quick tries to win 28-27. This Tongan side will do some damage in the RWC.

Great news, hopefully they can repeat and improve on their efforts from RWC '07 and cause some upsets.

That third Barbarains try was a cracker.

The Tongan forward pack have some very big boys as you would expect, that 8 looks like a real goer.
