Emerging from the mists of the long, white cloud, part gladiator, part showman, TOKI is without a doubt - 'the man.'

Just like his Warriors, who one minute are engaging in a series of bruising hit ups and the next minute are tossing the ball around like one armed basketballers, TOKI has the unnerving ability to change tack midstream. Within the time it takes to tap kick a ball, he can go from a menacing stare to an infectious belly laugh.

Above all, however, it is his enormous appetite for his footy that drives him. His exuberant version of the pukauna that marks every Warrior try encapsulates both the warrior and entertainer that lies within. His flamboyancy in combination with his size, speed and strength make him an athlete of unlimited potential and his philosophy is best summed up by his phrase of "why throw one pass to score a try when it can be done with nine?"

For TOKI, life’s one big adventure and the Auckland locals are no longer surprised if they happen to see him bungee jumping from the Sky Tower or wrestling an Tuatara in the middle of Queen Street.
