    Racism in humanity is similar to a Dog seeing a Cat as a Cat and not a Dog. Then went on to harm the Cat by chasing it thinking he has the right to do so. But most times the Cat possessing sharp & powerful fangs cat turn the tables on the Dog so they stay together in this lovely Earth accepting their difference as natural. We are all entitled to our own opinions and if we believe them enough these will be emblazoned in our minds so we must be careful not to create likely untruths that seem real within us in case we might fool ourselves believing false assumptions. As you know in rugby kiwi players who are accepted by foreign teams without a signed contract cannot argue they should be paid more than whatever the club decides is enough for their liability whether similar to Scottish players salary or not. Put our feet in the Club Manager's shoes before asking for more $$$ and assuming the the game-plan of racism. The best test for this case is to compare your rugby talents with other successful players' who were contracted for huge money like Charles Piutau, Steven Luatua, Israel Folau, Manu Tuilagi and others even earning much much much more than your average Scottish rugby player and yourself in this case. If you are the same as them talent wise then you might be right bro!. Anyhow, we should all value ourselves correctly according to what we have been gifted with from above because charging more than what we are worth is false as well as against the Law. Good luck for your rugby career bro! Fa'amaoni e fai le mea sa'o. Malo le tau.

    I have been good friends with Caucau for many years he was my neighbor in Northland whangarei we would often have friendly games of touch together he was untouchable man even when he was just playing around for fun he could literally jump on the field after eating KFC and being over weight and STILL kick ass. He was an incredible human. He was EXTREMELY!! fast and very explosive, his ACCELERATION!! was second to none, he had supreme balance on both his right and left legs could step on both, he had an unreal ability to defend himself while running alone the sideline he would use his hips to throw his opponents out, his kick and catch skills were unbelievable he was the most complete athlete in rugby and 7s history.

    The story doesnt stack up and smacks of personal resentment. How can you explain the huge contracts that Pacific Island players do earn in the north . Many a lot more than local players . Charles Piutau has been the highest paid player in north for many years. He's hardly cheap labour. What about , Bundee Aki, James Lowe , Stephen Luatua, Manu Tuialgi ,Mako Vunipola, Will Skelton ,Faletau, never mind all the players in France and then theres japan as well so many more, the list goes on and on . These players all earn huge salaries compared to the rest of the population. If Pacific players were treated and paid so poorly in Europe how come when the Pacific franchise Moana Pasifika was formed in Super Rugby and it was promoted that pacific Islanders would come back in droves to play, none did. . The money was just too good in the north and as a result the Moana Pasifika team are last and struggling. Perhaps you should read how real migrant labour is exploited in the real world. You are an immigrant to another country.perhaps you should stop biting the hand that feeds you.
