The Tongan national rugby team is staying in my hotel here in Belfast. Most of you are thinking -- kay, so? Yes, rugby players tend to be larger gentlemen. If you are from Hawaii you are with me right now, smirking at the word "larger." The Tongans are HUGE.

This would give me pause before a match.
Go Tonga!



HUGE and scary and beautiful people too.

Evidently photographed doing the Sipi Tau, the Tongan counterpart to the NZ Haka, those little pacific folk dances which attempts to intimidate the opposition http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=wnhdDlxjYfA ,and certainly would intimidate me.
PS Check out the Journeyman in Stirling, if you have not already.
