This is a great story I picked up a few days ago. The Tongan number 8 has changed his name by deed poll to Paddy Power. The #8 formally known as Epi Taione will play as Paddy Power during the World Cup. It is thought that the cash strapped Tongan team were given a five figure sum for the name change.
Why him? Well possibly Paddy Power chose the #8 because of the biting incident last year, when he bit Denis Leamy in a Heineken cup match and received an 18 month ban.
