    Manu Samoa

    Flat top, how come the Samoan boys didnt perform their Haka against the Force Gold on Saturday night. Any idea why? Plus can you advise of any footage of the Samoan Haka we can view that you may know off. Cheers TLH

    Good questions TLH but sadly I don't have an answer for either one.

    Big Zak Feau'nati (Back Row) is truly a gentle giant and a family man well integrated into Bath life. He lives here with his wife and three kids but despite playing for Samoa was actually born in Wellington...I guess he would be pretty confused as to which Haka he was meant to perform.

    I know less about Jonny Fa'amatuainu (second row) as he was brought in late in the season to provide cover for Steve Borthwick and Danny Grewcock during the 6 Nations at the same time as fellow Samoan (centre) Eliota Fuimaono-Sapolu. I believe Bath have given Eliota a contract(also think he is a New Zealander - certainly played for NZ Universities) but not kept Jonny on the books.

    I'm guessing but maybe they reserve it for national teams?

    Too many vowels in a name to take it seriously...can you imagine try to chant his name at the game.

    I love a man with a sense of humour, even from those 2nd tier playing countries
