Kautama na'a ku talanoa moe mali 'o Fatai kefu 'ou 'ilo ai 'oku 'i Tonga na. Koe vaivai'anga lahi foki 'o 'etau 'akapulu koe 'ikai ke document 'ae ngaahi lava me'a 'oe kuohili. Na'a ko ha faingamalie ena ke document what Fatai did, not only in his rugby days but how he guide his boys (Toutai & them) to where they are. My mind flashes back to the heroic IT of the past. If memory serves me correctly,1958 &59, 1969 to maybe 1973 angainst the Maoris (Coach- Denis Young and later Lupeti), 1973 against the Wallabies(Coach-Lupeti), 1999 angainst France(Dave Waterstone) and again the rest of the world in RWC 2007(Coach-Kutusi Fielea)These coaches must have something in common and we need to document how they doz it especially the Tongan Coach. Sadly enough Lupeti has already gone but we still have his players around. Kutusi is still around and he must have something to tell. The thing that struck me most is how they inspire a people to be better than they think they are. Koe legacy foki ia he fonua ni and may be all around the Pacific ko ‘etau tui ‘oku lelei ange kau tea he Tonga.The best preparation in anything we do is to “wake up”. Ko e behind the scene stuff oku puli and we need to get it out in the form of a documentary. Na'a ko ha taimi eni ke tohi fakalelei hotau histolia akapulu in one book and pass it on from generation to generation kanau toki update pe. This will help a lot. Fokotu'u kiai moe kau helohelo 'oe IT talu mei he 1923. Ko e tokoni pe ki he kaveinga 'Tonga can be great, but how is the question" ‘Oku ‘i ai ngaahi talanoa fakaoli, fakakata,faka’ofa,fakalotolahi etc ketau ako mei ai moe kaha’u ‘oe maa’imoa. May be this is a project that will help Tonga Rugby.

Sbehind or siomeimui,it was good to know that we were both former employees of the TRFU(the Old regime)however we are different on the fact that I am not as bitter as you.Your blogs expressed great bitterness and hatred and i can understand your feelings.If i say that i am a former CEO,or Coach or just a Secretary,you would be jumping up and down.You had really turned me against the old regime of Sengi and Tu'i Uata.Now i can have a fair idea of who you and Sifakea is.You said on one of your previous blog that there is nothing personal about your comments,but then you personally attacked almost everyone i mentioned as a possible member of the new TRFU post RWC.Mahino lelei pe ho'o peti'i a Tusi and i would do the same if i know the guy well but it is wrong to put people down who had no part in causing Tusi and those to lose their jobs.talking about Tusi paying for the IT's accommodation and food,i think it was only fair for him to do that because he was on $140,000.00 a year whereas his assistant coaches earned only $25,000.00.Kaikehe koe fanga ki'i palopalema ia ko enaa ne 'osi tofanga ai e fanau va'inga ia kimu'aa.Me'a ke mahino kihe kau va'ingaa he taimi lahi koe TRFU 'oku afi'i and there are no local big businesses to be a major sponsor like those experienced by NZ,Aust,Manu Samoa etc.Koe me'a ia 'oku mahu'inga ai ketau malohi 'ihe taha 'oe kau Super Power 'oe World Rugby like Fiji and Samoa.Koe main benefit pe 'oe IT koe exposed ai e tamaikii globally,a previlege that Nili,Hale and those would not have achieved if they had not played in the World Cup.Koia ai i think we should all get behind the current IT team pea tau palani mo ngaue 'o teuteu kihe 2012 ki hano fakafoki mai 'oe power 'o hono fakalele 'oe 'akapuluu kihe kakaii otherwise the opportunity would pass us by...before i sign off,i would say this to you bridgent...if you have no point to make other than putting people down then shut up pe ko ho'o 'alu kihe poo 'o lea kiai.koe lau eni 'ae kakai who know a thing or two about rugby..so budd off 'o lea he volipoloo pe lanitaa moe fakamole favai...

Tongakihemate; Ta ko ena koe finemotu’a koe kae ikai keke lea mai he ‘oku mau ngalivale he fuhu moe fefine. Fakafoki atu kapau na’e ‘I ai ha lea ‘e maheheu pea hufanga he fakatapu. Iam vey disappointed after browsing through all your letters. You don’t have any logic even bad when you don’t seem to be arguing with your brain. I quote some of your argument from some of your letters and very sad that you don’t seem to be consistent with your belief:
“It's always sad when you lose out on something you like and treasured.Kutusi and his co-coaches must be really sad to lose their positions and their incomes.We all felt it for they are brothers,cousins and friends.In that sense,I wonder whether it would have been possible to bring in Isitolo as the Technical Advisor and still retain the former coaches.I just found out that John McKee,an Australian is being signed as the new TA to the Ikaletahi.How cruel is that??Tusi and his coaches had proved that Tongans can coach at the highest level and be good at it.There is a rugby saying says and i quote"if it ain't broke then don't temper(change)with it" hence am so sorry for Tusi and gang but that's life” Posted by Tongakihemate 04/03/2010
“We always follow the Tongan way and sit by and don't wanna get involved but once other people get a move on things...we started wincing like a pig. We all make mistakes in life and Nili,Hale and the boys made theirs but that shouldn't bar them from representing Tonga.They had given their all so for the sake of loyalty,please 'Isitolo give them another chance.If i am 'Isitolo,i will bring back Kutusi,Liueli and 'Isi Fatani to my management team.They had proved their worth in the last world cup and would be of great help in the next.Siua Taumalolo was a great player but has never coached any team so lacking experrience whereas Feleti Fa'otusia used to coach Ha'ateiho but to no real success.You are only as good as your assistants so” Posted by Tongakihemate 15/04/10
“Kutusi and his team proved that and i fear that they had set a very high benchmark for these guys to catch.I am starting to get sick of Feleti Fa'otusia of his constant talking about the "Game plan business"...obviously his Plan A didn't work because Fiji won 21-3.The question he need to answer is...what is his plan B...the score were all from penalties 7 - 1 and that must be a very defensive game by the look of things.'Isitolo is a very nice guy,very humble with great experiences.Ki'i kole atu pe kia Feleti ke ki'i 'ohomui hifo 'o ki'i lilii lalo pe kae tuku e 'ohomu'aa he koe 'atungaa ena kuo fo'i pea red face ai” posted by Tongakihemate 25/04/2010
I hath to say sorry for all the great names of the IT that we have been putting down (Fakahau Valu, Manu Vunipola, Tusi, Feleti, Taumalolo, Isitolo and others. As you say they are brothers, cousin etc. Tongakihemate; ‘Oku ke hopo takai holo ‘ikai pau ki ha me’a. Fakamolemole atu we got to move on. Where did you get the info that Tusi support the IT strike. He was the one who convinced the players to keep on playing until the 2009 PNC complete, let alone how he finance the team meals at the soccer complex and the 4 nights accomodation at the Dateline Hotel. Ask Sione Petelo and Sione Lutu who pays for the IT expenses. TRFU or Him? He was set up to fail by the regime at the time. If he was given the support after 2007 RWC Tonga rugby is a different story today. I was a former TRFU employee who was lucky to see how the guy operates. He was so unlucky in the sense that he was sandwiched in the middle during the political infighting within TRFU. He is very professional with the media and he is never one sided with his comments. He is a nice hell of a guy and he is loved and respected by the IT players. He breach what he says and never refrain from it and that’s why some hates the guy. He should have heke takai holo & enjoyed the benefit of his contract, instead he stuck with his belief and principles. Get him in to IT in any position, he can do it and get along with Isitolo. Trust me.

Tongakihemate: Tonga vs SAfrica 2007 RWC 30-25 and Pita Tanginoa was the coached. How can I argue with you when your stats were wrong? You can't take that semifinal from Pita as Coach. You think the IT was the easiest team to beat in 2010. You lost confidence in Isitolo and his coaching staff? Your argument contradict what you fucken write.Tusi was smart with his approached he utilize his players while still controlling the whole thing. He is a big picture thinker. He doesn’t waste time stucking in the engine room like other coaches, he play his role from an angle where he can see the big picture. I call him a smart operator. Please don’t take the credit from those guys. Let me call you matamui as you are too proud of the performance in the last 37 and 11 years ago while rugby is far too advanced with that shitfuck you talk about. Talanoa mai he performance? Vunipola and Valu as coaches and administrator.

sbehind,i wonder whether you know that the tongan version of your nickname is "matamui or sio mei mui".it means looking up your arse.Ho'ata malie maipe ho'o fematematei hono poupou'i e timi 'oe 2007.Ne tau malohi koaa 'i England mo South Africa?.Fo'i kila,koe fo'i maliee 'oku hangee pe ia ko ha'o fo'i te'epiloo..'oku 'eho pe pea 'osi.koe hisitolia 'oku tohii reads like this...1973 Tongan Ikaletahi 20-Wallaby 12,2000 Tonga Ikaletahi 23-France 10,1995 Ikaletahi16-Manu Samoa 10,2000 Tongan Ikaletahi 39-Manu Samoa 10,2007 RWC Ikaletahi 14-Manu Samoa 12,Ikaletahi 15-USA 8,Ikaletahi 10-England20,Ikaletahi 15-South Africa 26...Manu Vunipola was the 7s coach who took Tonga to the wellington semi-final position.He brought Pita in as a friend and as a manager to sort out sponsor.Pita then using his Maamafo'ou connection with Sengi later took over,,,wow what a friend.Manu was the inspirational leader his boys always look up to.Fakahau Valu is a tongan legend and is written in the tongan history.hihifo rugby died when kelepi tupou died due to in-fighting among local villages.NZ picked tonga to play their opening match not because of the shit you talked about..the IT seems to be the easiest of the games to play.Waterstone was a shit good coach so as Jim Love..don't know who brought them in for they were shit and useless..not like Tusi for tusi know his limit and let the boys do the talking.Who gives a fuck about Wales in 1973.World Rugby domination is cyclical and players come and go.Mahino ngata'a mo'oni kia koe e poinii e.Tonga never beat any of the big four or five of world rugby and the 2007 team never did so why the fuck do you keep on harping abaout it..i don't know who the fuck you are and the shit you've done in rugby.maybe you should go and help out mo'oni 'aholelei in his basketball.rugby in tonga can only be great again if and only if rugby people take over and kick the fakaleiti like you away for you like sengi and tu'i are parasites trying to suck life out of rugby....

Tongakihemate. You don’t seem to fight with your two hands. Get your history right. Ha'unga was a TRFU Board member during Sakopo's shit term in office. The 7's played to the first semifinal in the IRB 7's in Wellington under Pita Tanginoa. Manu Vunipola was an opportunist who was cheating with teams money etc. Talk to the 7's player during Manu's shit term with 7's. Dave Waterstone was the coached in the Tonga vs. French game prior to 1999 RWC. You fucked and put down the team and people of the 2007 RWC. Why gave Valu a chance while he wasted all the opportunity that was given to him 1987 RWC, 1995 RWC, 7's and now with the Tonga Government Rugby Board. Hihifo rugby died when Kelepi passed away? Valu failed to revive Hihifo rugby after Kelepi than how come he can get Tonga Rugby going as a whole. Being a bloodied rugby player is a different thing from running a Board mate! Don’t get me wrong. The guy lacked expertise and know how to be in charge of Tonga rugby as you suggested. The 2007 RWC team gave Tonga the opening game with NZ in 2011 RWC. Why? This was based on expert judgments and analysis from RWC 2007 nothing else. For you to put down that team in modern rugby was a crime. You can’t compare team across 4 decades like that. Why push on with your points while Valu took off his hat and salute the RWC 2007 team on the Taimi ‘o Tonga. Australia was not one of the superpower of rugby in 1973; Tonga was beaten by Wales and Scotland after 1973. Wales was the superpower at the time from 1969 to 1979 (the crowning years- Barry John, Gareth Edwards, Quinell, Dawes, Fenwick, Gerald Davies, Phil Bennet and many more). That’s the real test of that 1973 team and they were beaten big time. Talk to the props at the time and they can tell you how that little guy “mighty mouse” gave them a hard time when they play Scotland. France was on a selection mission to the Southern Hemisphere in 1999. Dave Waterstone was the coached. The same team gave us that 100 point I refer to in my previous letter. You got to see both side of the picture. South Africa was RWC 2007 champion and England was the final opposition and the 2007 IT played neck to neck with them until the final whistle. Eat your own shit loi ‘e’elo ‘oku fakatonutonu atu ‘i ‘olunga mate! The way you write sounds you don’t know shit about rugby. Don’t kick the ball into the shit house. You got to have points to argue with. May I repeat : 7’s the worse, PRC the worse, Under 20 Junior RWC the worse and now PNC wait until Japan and RWC 2010 is a very big ?????????????????????????

sbehind,you seems to know your history but until the future IT beat one of the Superpowers of World Rugby,then history of the 1973 and 1999 IT will stand.Don't get me wrong,the 2007 RWC Team were good but they were not the best.A win is a bloody win whether by 1 point or more....SA looked down on Tonga and they almost got beaten.Samoa did the same and got kicked.England learned their lesson and beat Tonga easily...The Wallabies of 1973 were great but Tonga were better on the day.For you to put people down is unforgivable.Who the hell are you and who give you the bloody right to put people down.Fakahau Valu died for Tonga and so are many of those you put down.Go and ask Willie Lose the reason behind his spat with Fakahau.He deserved to be sacked although was lucky not to.Hihifo rugby died once Kelepi Tupou passed away.Ha'unga jr had never worked for the TRFU before.The Tonga's 7 a side's fortune turned with Manu Vunipola being the coach.What Sengi and Tu'i did for Tongan rugby can be done by anyone.The team of 1999 lost because of the SA coach being emplyed by the TRFU at the time.The same team however beat the French team afterwards.Ohh i forgot,the 2007 team beat the mighty Samoans and the Eagles...the MS are the 2007 world champions.You seems to be blowing loads of shits and it's a pity we don't put our names down so that we have a face behind the shit we spilt around here.Sometimes people who had done fuck-all tend to be the ones who boast the most.So before i'll sign off,may i ask you again to cool off and let Isitolo prove himself before you shoot him down otherwise,i'll come around and kick your....adios

tongakihemate. Who authorize the money to be dispersed when the money was under control of 'Uta'atu isn’t it the IRB Oceania Manager. The money is an allocation for Tonga from IRB.The TRFU has the right to use the money to whatever they see fit.Take them to court katau nounou if they misused the money. Why did god gave them the result if they corrupt TRFU and not to Sakopo and his gang who abide by the rules of God? ha! ha! God must be crazy as they say. Why RWC 2007 was above all, it was the best of the best at the world stage and countries like S/A invest millions of dollars to get there. How much Tonga invest on the IT. Australian rugby was at its lowest in 1973 and that’s the turning point to where the wallabies now.1999 was a trial tour for the France. Isn't it they went straight from here to RWC1999 Final and Tonga dive down to the first 100 point score by any team against Tonga. Tonga vs Springboks (Champion) in RWC2007 was 30-25 at a RWC. Ha'unga Petelo was there during Sakopo's time and it’s a big fat zero. Fakahau Valu retired and came back to captained the RWC1987 while Mailefihi was the coach. After that they disappeared and came back in 1995 RWC. Fakahau was made coached while Mailefihi became the IT Manager. After that they disappeared and now Fakahau is back again. Have you ever wonder why Hihifo rugby is dead. You got to talk to guys like Alamoni, Takai & others to found out the real image of the guy. Why Fakahau the coach nearly came to a fight with Willie Lose in S/A during the 1995 RWC. You see the behind the scene stuff that mask Tonga Rugby. Talanoa mai he performance. Thank you, you understood that Sengi and Tu'i did well so why you still argue. The political move is when the suckers of Tonga rugby pointlessly fighting to axed people who performed. Being a former blooded rugby player and a good rugby administrator is totally two different things. Tonga rugby since last November is diving down to the ocean floor. Look at 7's. PRC and now PNC. The score against Samoa is very misleading against what really happened during the game. Tuku e wait and see he koe founga ia ‘ae kau haua holo he hala Pule’anga. Do you think we can win the AB with that standard of play last weekend? Hello!!!!!! I have talked to one of our top players from Europe who is here on holiday and the feedback is negative. They are not happy with how things going. Why Taniela Moa left? Why Paino didn’t join the team and a few others. So sorry for putting up those names but we need to get real and right for the last time. Fakahau Valu took his hat off, salute and admit in the Taimi ‘o Tonga one week after the RWC 2007 that RWC 2007 team was the best ever performance by a Tonga Team. You can get it from Taimi ‘o Tonga acrchive. Fakamolemole atu ki he ngaahi hingoa kotoa pe I olunga moe kau helohelo e IT kapau kuo maheheu ha lea. Im still behind you guys but we got to get this fixed for the last time. Malo.

Rugby is a business end of.The former management board members including Sengi and his gang misused the monies from the IRB ear-marked for rugby development on other things...ie,prize money for competitions,players wages,etc etc.What was so special about the RWC Team of 2007?they didn't beat any of te Super-powers of world rugby..they only beat Samoa and the USA,,teams that previous Ikaletahi beat so its no real BIG DEAL.Sorry sbehind but there no need to brag about this team anymore...the team of 1973 who beat the Wallabies and the 1999 or 2000 who beat France in Tonga are still in my memory the best achievement for any IT Team.Tongan rugby has been in the shit for so many years because wrong people then to occupy important roles.Government officials,Nobles and arm chair rugby supporters who only join to get something out of rugby.The real rugby lovers are the ones who had shed blood and sweat for King and Country.That is the reason I propose to bring in people like Ha'unga Petelo to help in managing rugby for they have the best interest of rugby players at heart.Sengi and Tu'i's involvement was just a Political move and fair play they did well but we ave to move on.Isitolo was a great player so hopefully he'll steer Tonga well.He is a professional so if he mucks up,i'm sure he'll just walk away and let another guy take over.So i suggest that we hold our horses,give him a bit of support and constructive criticism and do away from swearing and wait and see.For at the end of the day,we all want the IT to beat NZ in the next RWC...nice weekend...

Running rugby is more or less like running a business now. I agree with only former internationals that have the ability to run rugby (technical & administration) and can generate revenues. People who has vision and has time for it. I totally disagree with the names suggested below as they are former Board members, Coaches or Managers in the TRFU and their past performances is well notice. If we asked former players who have been under these guys time as coaches, board members or managers we will have a big laugh. Why Sangster and Tui Uata gave us the best rugby world cup, 7's, PRC ever. Are they rugby players? The employees they select gave us two finals (2007 & 2008) in the PRC, semifinal in the IRB 7's, RWC 2007 and offcoure the PNC (2008 & 2009) was bad as they were already oust by the dick heads who run rugby now. Clearly if they corrupt TRFU we shouldn’t have the result they achieved. They came with democracy to rugby, transparency, accountability, fairness, honest and more importantly love for the players & officials etc.The big question is why they were so successful in that very short time frame. Hello! God knows. Na'e hange ka tu'u 'ae kau anti demo (Government) ha afi he work 'ae system 'ae kau demo ‘o a’u ki he ikai kenau tali ha tokoni ‘e taha ki he ‘Ikale Tahi. They fuck and did their best to axed them.Whats happen recently is a fuckshit. November 2009 tour, 7's, PRC and now PNC. By performance, let’s give Sengi and Tu'i a second chance if not get people in the same caliber and there is a few people around. My best bet is “We need a good fair system of Government” Everything will filter down to every level whether it’s rugby, church, school, Public and private enterprise, family etc. How many changes in rugby we have done with the same old faces (Sione Tau, Polutele, Fakahau, Takitoa) let alone Sangster and Tu’I Uata’s term. It doesn’t fuck and work. Let’s get real and see the truth guys.

your so true sbehind, but what i'm most concern with is better facilities for the local players to develop their skills and mentality, we complain when the national team is dominated by overseas based players, but that's how it is -- they eat well and take supplement, train well with better facilities and money in hand -- politics is out of our reach, we can't do anything about it, what we are doing is just talking -- really wish we could do something about it

Tongan rugby can be great and reached greater heights IF and it's a very big IF certain things are carried out.Politics will always influence rugby for it's to do with power,position,status,money,fame etc etc.The key is having all stakeholders AGREE on the best way forward and having the most appropriate PEOPLE in Key positions.Best people to run rugby are the former rugby players...those with a good educational background like Dr Ha'unga Petelo Jr to be the CEO,Fakahau Valu can be the Chairman of the Board,Peseti Ma'afu to be a director,Polutele Tu'ihalamaka etc and people like that who put their bodies on the line for rugby.Lets do away with these government officials who were just "arm chair" rugby lovers for all they bring to the game is politics,fakapone moe fakafamili...Tongan rugby lacked leadership...a strong,honest leader who can not be waived and bribed or worst Vaihaka to the hou'eiki.Koe me'a ia 'e taha ke tukutuku atu a hono fakakau mai e kau hou'eikii he 'akapuluu..The late King Tupou IV and his brother,the late Fatafehi Tu'ipelehake,Tuita Toluafe and late Kalaniuvalu were in my opinion the last genuine hou'eiki who really supported tongan rugby and bless them.Once we have the right people in the TRFU Board,they would then select the best coaches who would then pick the best players and stick with them for at least five to eight years.There should be a quota regarding team selection,,policies to guide and monitor the developing of local talents.The heavy reliance on overseas players is too detrimental to the domestic game.Say for example that for nz&aust based players,only those who play super14 can be picked direct to the Ikaletahi.Those playing NPC and club rugby should all be involved in trial games with the locals.The same case gooes to those playing in the UK and France..only those playing in the premier league should automatically enter the IT.However there will always be exemptions for up and coming players but this will be judged on its own merits.Employ ex-IT players as Rugby Development officers,,say 4 in Tongatapu,2 each for VV and HP and 1 each for 'Eua and the Niuas.These can be done by Liueli and those ex-players who are now involved and will always involve in the development of rugby.there are more to say but i will comma here for the time being so until next-time...nice reading and good weekend everyone....

Lets get real with the current situation in Tonga. I have no objection at all about getting the politics out of any sports. Good management,accountability and transparency will only eventuate under a good fair political system. The politician has the final say and a huge influence on what the Governments did and want to do. The recent took over of rugby by Government is a very good evidence. It seems that politic is a part of the game and we need to manage it. Its only a fair political system that can do it. New Zealand & Australian Rugby Union under fair political system. Ma'a e!!!

Lets get the selection process and a stable system in place. My best bet is this. What happens in Government is exactly what is happening in Rugby. Lets get our political system fixed and will get better. The assholes who has been the suckers of Government is exactly the same suckers who ruined rugby. Will be there after November 2010. sure!
