    Chuck Norris has the greatest Poker-Face of all time. He won the 1983 World Series of Poker, despite holding only a Joker, a Get out of Jail Free Monopoly card, a 2 of clubs, 7 of spades and a green #4 card from the game Uno.

    Those are very telling stats indeed. If the ARU really wants to grow the game outside of the traditional heartlands, it's got its work cut out.

    Pretty surprised at the Kiwi figures at first reading. Shouldn't have been.

    Judging by that state, the entire south pacific has been annexed by new Zealand.

    Samoa and Tonga at least. Mo Schwalger (Samoa) and Malakai Fekitoa (originally from Tonga) have both said in recent interviews that teenagers in those countries dream of playing for the All Blacks rather than their home countries. My Fijian mate reckons players from Fiji grow up dreaming of playing sevens for their country but tend to switch allegiance if they score a professional 15s contract overseas and are a chance of playing for that country.
