Pierre Hola

Date of birth: 9/6/1978

Test caps: 28

Test Debut: Samoa, 1998

Test points: 212

Current Club: Kobelco Steelers (Japan)

Strengths: The superb goal-kicking skills of Hola have made him an invaluable part of the Tongan side.

Weaknesses: He may have an eye and the boot for place-kicking, but his kicking out of hand still needs some work. Far too many punts not finding touch have left the Tongans having to defend like mad against the countering team.

Likely headline: 'Hola takes game by the collar'

Did you know: Hola scored 44 points against South Korea in one match - one point shy of the world record.
