Reply to earlier post Ben Atiga is half Tongan and Pita Alatini is full .
 
Pretty sure Albert Anae is Samoan.

Not many Tongans playing for NZ squads anymore for some reason. There are only a few young Tongan kids I can think of who have potential to be All Blacks in the future, like Liaki Moli, who is half Tongan and Telusa Veainu; both are good up and comers.

Oh yeah forgot that that in the 90's you had plenty of Kiwis playing for the English side where they now have been replaced by SA's ;-)
