David Halaifonua may be one of the hardest hitters of all time. Operating mostly from fullback, the Tongan international always puts his body on the line in order to put in some cracking shots.

The tackle he made against Samoa prop. Solid. The real Tongan hit man . Brian Lima would be proud.

[@peejpomare5218]

Him over Brian cause this dude had alot of 1 on 1 run it straight tackles beautiful technique

It'll be good to see him running towards Botia. His tackle on Botia slipped up to the head.

[@waisalecody6831]

The point is, watch the impact of the collision of botia and Tevita. Botia was running hard and Tevita wants to gave a very strong tackle. They both feel the impact of human collision. Pasifika players are very strong People. May God bless us all.

[@greylynnjr]

I rate this guy hitting technique with steve matai. Its all physics and timing

[@koliniovitu906]

To much high tackle...king of the high tackle can't run straight

[@warhammerresurrection.1995]

Really fed up of a series of what are simply shoulder charges labelled as tackles. When you lead with the shoulder with little or frequently no attempt to wrap an arm around it looks impressive but is dangerous and of course illegal. The Cory Allen one in particular. There's no doubting his tackling ability, surely you could make a montage of hard, legal tackles.

[@boerbru9721]

your wrong and dont seem to understand rugby or physics for that matter

[@giancarlo2008]

No shoulder charges in these clips, just strong, hard shots 👌🏾
