Answer 3

Go to the UK Rugby union headquarters and ask this question to them, since they will be able to provide you with an exact answer.  

The reason why there is a lot of Tongans playing in the UK is:

Rugby is not that big a sport in Tonga.  The players good enough therefore play club rugby.  I suppose there is not too many clubs in Tonga and therefore these club players do not get enough match exposure.

They are then connected to international clubs via their agents, and believe me the better the money the more players are willing to play for these clubs.

I know personally that England and Europe clubs pay very good salaries for professional players.  Since your career is very short lived, injury can limit it immediately, you do chase the money.

Hope these players at least entertain the viewers for the salaries they receive.

Answer 4

to many that's why our game suffered so much ( look at the England team)
