I got into rugby around that time and played hooker and at the time there were full Tri-Nations games uploaded onto youtube in 2010-2011. I loved the ABs hookers Hore and Mealamu but I really liked Fainga'a because I wasn't as short and explosive as Mealamu and not as strong as over the breakdown as Hore but I loved Fainga'a's effort. He always gave it his all with the Reds and Wallabies even when playing against the Boks and ABs

Love how you interviewed Her and not really mentioned her brother good insight USOs .

Awesome Poddy thanks for the insights Niall
Western civilization was founded and built under the guise of the Bible's doctrine, which was used as a justification for European colonization, and inflicting horrific atrocities & genocide upon Indigenous peoples. For Israel Folau to be made a scapegoat for freely sharing the very doctrine that these colonized countries were founded on!? This reveals Western countries foundation of deception and hypocrisy, parliament & courts are sworn under oath using the bible!!?? Therefore if Israel is banned for sharing these Biblical doctrine, that means Paliament & the Court systems are lies and have no power!! European Westerners need to leave these colonized countries lands & go back to where they come from, back to England, UK & Europe.
