Tana Umaga to launch designer handbag range

New Zealand icon Tana Umaga is set to shock the rugby world by launching a range of designer handbags.

The ex-New Zealand captain and Warriors centre hit the news recently after he was involved in a bar room incident with Warriors teammate Chris Masoe.

The New Zealand Rugby Football Union fined Masoe NZ$3,000 dollars for assaulting a man he tripped over at 7am the morning after the Super 14 final.

Umaga, who was with Masoe at the time, responded by picking up a nearby handbag and hitting Masoe over the head twice. It is alleged the flanker burst into tears after receiving the blows. The NZRFU accepted Umaga was trying to defuse the situation and have not fined the player as a result.

‘On reflection,’ said Umaga, ‘I regret the incident. As I was hitting Masoe over the head, I realised that the handbag was not exactly my style. Personally, I thought there was a bit too much decoration on the bag, that it should be simpler, more minimalist. At the time it was the nearest thing to hand, so I had little choice. But thinking about things in the cold light of day, I am aware that I could design a much better handbag. So I thought, why not give it a try?’

The word on the street is that it wasn't Umaga's handbag... it was Ma'a Nonu's (he uses it to carry his mascara and eyeliner around)
