Thank you for sharing that. I like Ngani's sense of humor.

[@Louse1989]

He has no sense of humour whatsoever 😂

[@logophile]

It's subtle.

[@clementjavano2706]

Respect man.... Such a good player with a nice spirit ! When I see such a great player living in a "modest" house, i understand why he's moving to the stade français... I'm happy to see him coming to top 14 but it feels like french rugby is killing the game with big money little by little ....

[@mikescudder4621]

If world rugby are serious about sustainable rugby in the PI region, they'd adjust the rules so that players like Laumape who dont qualify for the ABs anymore are eligible for their 'home' team.... but of course they aren't. Too many invested interests in importing these players and to not have to deal with releasing them to play for their countries.

[@mikescudder4621]

@Craig Hackett Yes but obviously he's not coming back to the ABs, therefore why can't he play for Tonga if he wishes???

[@jennytalls402]
