    Woah did he really say 13 siblings, that's crazy. I bet they're bloody proud of their brother now. He also mentioned that Dubai is free for all when referenced with Australias white-tape policies. This is true (especially in recent times-COVID), however, I wouldn't classify Dubai or anywhere in the Middle East as somewhere fit for a wild child like Tai Tuivasa.
