Ratu Nasiganiyavi

[fulvio sammut]

I know Burgs, I know.

I first met Ratu when he was an 18 year old. He has a good sense of humour, an engaging ability for person to person rapport, and a genuine friendliness to everyone about him.

He also has a big head and a complete lack of responsibility.

It is the latter which is the potential barrier to him becoming a rugby great. If he gathers the internal strength to dedicate himself to what is his goal, he could be anything.

From what I have heard lately, he is on his way, I wish him well.

[Burgs]

If it is any consolation, he was looking particularly humble during the interview.
I put that down to one or all of three factors:
1. A developing maturity as a growing frog in a much bigger pond,
b. Shitting himself being on camera,
iii. Dumbstruck in the presence of Miss Rugby, Amanda Shalala.

+0.5% homoerotic themes.

Hadn't noticed that bit. But if you say so.

Tight jerseys plus 5 men hugging one man in the act of tackling....If there was a certain 'mood' in the air it could turn very unusual.

Ratu was interviewed on ABC2 during the Randwick/Syd Uni game. Seems like a nice young lad - although he is a Tah boy through and through. What was interesting in the game was how good one player named Valentine went. Hmmm - where is he going??

Whats that other game were big groups of blokes cuddle each other in tight jerseys?

Hmmmm. I think I know it.

There's another game where they have tight shorts as well. They call all that hugging and stuff a melee.

I have an apology to make, Earlier in this thread I questioned Ratu's parentage by suggestg that somebody quiet and humble couldn't be related to Lote.......I'm beginning to see the resemblance thanks Fulv

Now that the knives are out, who has the sharpening stone? Gigsa? hehehe

iii. Dumbstruck in the presence of Miss Rugby, Amanda Shalala.

Given her write-up of him, maybe she is off the market - sorry Chook (although you could always challenge him for her, mano-a-mano, just warn us so we can get the bets on)

[chook]

I'd Roshambo im for her. IF I went first....

FUGG! And they reckon ODI's are decided at the coin toss.
