Sam Moa representing
Tonga
Moa is good friends with fellow Hull F.C. and Tonga team mates Willie Manu and Epalahame Lauaki. The trio are commonly known by the Hull fans as 'The Tongan Mafia'.[citation needed]
Moa was picked in the 2008 World Cup squad due to an injury problem. He featured in all three of Tonga's matches including coming off the bench in the hammering of Scotland (Scotland 0-48 Tonga), Tonga scored in the 80th minute in front of the post so Moa was given the chance to take the conversion which he scored successfully.
