How to Siva Tau like the Toa Samoa

The Toa Samoa siva tau has been under the spotlight with the team making their way through the 2021 Rugby League World Cup and all the way to a historic Grand Final.
You will have seen the boys in blue leading the way for Samoa with the legendary ‘Siva Tau’ inspiring children and adults in Samoa and around the world to perform it.
Former Toa Samoa, NRL and Super league star Ali Lauitiiti breaks down the different parts in the Siva Tau along with the words and meaning with help from some of the Mini Toa kids in Auckland.
Learn and then practise along with Ali and the Mini Toa squad.

I'm just gonna say that if you're doing the Siva Tau, it has to come straight from your heart, you have to feel it and it comes out naturally then you have the spirit of a toa/warrior... As for the words 😅 you gotta learn it lol

Samoa is the most beautiful island in my opinion❤️

[@ATDPStudios]

Apia and Vailima! I love those areas. The West coast is beautiful too!

I still remember the crowd chanting "Ali, Ali" during his prime. He was the best second rower in the game back in the day.

I'm reminded of a story: A young Samoan was playing football in America. His family were spectators and decided to 'gee up' his spirits with Siva Tau.
How did the Yanks react? They called the Police. 🤣🤣
