In late September, Taniela Tupou arrived at Fua’amotu International Airport in Tonga feeling sick in the stomach, like an anxious kid on the first day of school.
Three years of FaceTime calls and feeling like a part of his life was missing, ended with a hug like no other between mother and son in Tonga after Australia’s final Bledisloe Cup match in late September. With a new baby and a six-week stint abroad looming, Tupou dreamed of staying in Tonga with his mother, Loisi.“It was a lot harder leaving,” Tupou said. “I hate that feeling of leaving my home. It’s the worst thing.
“I was like ‘far-out’. I was sad I was going to leave and happy my visa wasn’t there. Then it was even worse that they found the visa.”Tupou and his newborn son Nela.In the dying moments of Australia’s Test against Scotland on Saturday, Tupou conceded a penalty that gave Blair Kinghorn a chance to hit a match-winning three-pointer. He pushed it left, much to Tupou’s relief.
