| biography:
| Rugby union player, born in Mangere, New Zealand, of Tongan parents. A brilliant athlete while at school, he played rugby league, then switched to union, being selected for the New Zealand All Blacks in 1994. He became internationally known as a member of the World Cup squad in 1995, when his massive physique (1·95 m/6 ft 5 in; 119 kg/266 lb) made him an awesome opponent. He scored four tries against England in the semi-final at Cape Town. A serious kidney disorder kept him out of the game for over a year, but he returned to international rugby in November 1997. |
