As the crowd fell silent at The Brick Community Stadium in Wigan on Sunday, the intensity was palpable as Samoa prepared to perform their traditional pre-game war dance, the Siva Tau. The energy was electric as the players took their places, ready to face off against England in what promised to be an epic match.
Mikey Lewis, representing England, met eyes with Samoa's Gordon Chan Kum Tong, who was leading the Siva Tau. With each passing moment, the tension between the two players grew, until finally Chan Kum Tong let out a fierce scream directly in Lewis's face. But Lewis remained unfazed, maintaining his composure and staring right back at his opponent.
As the Siva Tau continued, the two players seemed to be in a fierce battle of wills, with Chan Kum Tong getting closer and closer to Lewis. And as the dance came to an end, Lewis made a bold move, thrusting his head forward in an attempt to connect with his rival. The crowd erupted into cheers as the two players separated, their faces still filled with determination and adrenaline.
Even at half time, the intensity of the Siva Tau could still be felt. BBC presenter Tanya Arnold remarked that she had never seen such a feisty performance, with the players literally getting in each other's faces. And former England player Jamie Peacock could only agree, commenting on how the dance had become even more intense as the players got closer to each other.
But amidst all the intensity, there was also some lightheartedness. Jon Wilkin, a former England and Great Britain player, joked about how entertaining it would have been if there had been a "football incident" during the Siva Tau, with Lewis taking a dive to add some drama to the already intense moment.
And as the game continued, it was clear that Lewis's emotional and passionate nature was an asset to the England team. Former international player Kevin Brown commented on how Lewis wears his heart on his sleeve, and his energy and passion were evident when he scored a try in the second half.
In the end, England emerged victorious with a 34-18 win over Samoa. But the intensity of the Siva Tau and the fierce energy between the players will not soon be forgotten. It was a moment that truly showcased the passion and determination of these athletes, and the spirit of competition that brings us all together.
