I still remember the crowd chanting "Ali, Ali" during his prime. He was the best second rower in the game back in the day.

I'm just gonna say that if you're doing the Siva Tau, it has to come straight from your heart, you have to feel it and it comes out naturally then you have the spirit of a toa/warrior... As for the words 😅 you gotta learn it lol

I'm reminded of a story: A young Samoan was playing football in America. His family were spectators and decided to 'gee up' his spirits with Siva Tau. How did the Yanks react? They called the Police. 🤣🤣
