Jason Taumalolo I don't get it son (well I do, he doesn't need the money anymore)

Born in Auckland NZ, played for the junior kiwis

then played tests for Tonga, then 10 times for NZ

Now declaring he will play for Tonga

Is it any wonder many see our world cup as a joke?

But this also makes it a bit less of a joke.

Not really

He is turning his back on the country of his birth where he has played for the junior kiwis and nz in 10 tests. Why not stick with Tonga at the start where he played 3 tests when he was a nobody?

Is he getting paid more to play for Tonga? I would've thought it would be the other way around.

Standing up to the gormless NZRL.

Great for Tonga and the WC.
