They have a long history war. They mostly weeded out the small un-athletic parts

There have been some great ones, but Unga is the only dominant middle linebacker

I saw a 60 minutes on Poly players once. I forget the data but the numbers went something like this. Tonga

That's pretty incredible. 35 from Tonga? Or 35 of Tongan descent?
