Someone needs to head down to Fiji to see if they can coax some of these rugby players to put the pads on.

I played a year of college ball with a Maori rugby player from New Zealand named David Dixon, the coaches called him Kiwi, and the name stuck with us. He was a freak of nature, about 6'6 320 lbs and ran a 4'8 40 in college. He was a DT at the Juco we were at but ended up at ASU as a Olinemen and played about 16 seasons in the NFL mostly with the Vikings.
Those Islanders are some big powerful boys.

Yeah their 7s rugby team had dudes ranging from 6'2" to 6'6" and 220-240 and they could all run. Monster athletes all over the field, or pitch I guess.
Tonga, New Zealand (Maori), Hawaiian, Fiji etc... I'll take some of those dudes on the line. Some big dudes!
The Mormon church has spent a ton of time doing missionary work in South pacific and there are quite a few Polynesian Mormons. A friend of mine was a strength coach at Utah before Meyer showed up and he said it was unreal how strong some of the Polynesian kids were.
