    Actually, even though he was kinda chubby when he was at school as well, he used to be a very good No8. I have seen him play for STC a lot and he was one of the best No8s in his time, probably along with Imran or St. Anthony's.

    How much the teams have changed! I only know Kishore, Sumedha Malawena, Yoshitha, Namal, Dev Anand, Mohamed Sherif among these guys. I used to watch almost every club match but since I left for Japan, havent watched a single game in five years. Miss rugby so much.

    Btw, is Pushpakumara the same one who played for Vidyartha and Kandy and CR later?

    Hard to beat Samoans. To beat Tonga you need to use the bloody brain. Can out perform without much physical contacts.
