Tofiga (barely) grills some chicken


Tofiga asks Paul for a barbecue grill and some chicken, adding “Make sure there’s heaps, man”. When Paul says he’ll try, Tofiga says he’ll put in a good word for him.
After scoring his goal, Tofiga cheers and whoops, while Paul sets off a confetti cannon behind him. Tofiga then sings a call and response chant with the help of Paul, which appears to be a cross between a Samoan clapping game (in which ‘mili’ means rub your hands together, and ‘pata’ means one clap), and a chant performed by Samoans before rugby games.
They then both run over to the grill, where Tofiga starts to cook some chicken while telling Paul to dance for him. Paul stands in front of the goal holding cheerleading pompoms, and spells out Tofiga’s name.
Tofiga then starts eating some of the meat. When Paul questions whether it has been cooked for long enough, Tofiga dismisses his concerns. Tofiga then offers some of the meat to Paul, who says he’s a vegetarian. Tofiga attempts to argue that the chicken is vegetarian, but Paul wanders off.
In the studio, Madeleine argues that Tofiga’s attempt was genius, while Paul says he thinks the chicken had only been cooked for about 44 seconds.
Tofiga earns 3 points.
