You should win a Nobel Prize
Dear Mr Umaga, As a father of two and a keen rugby fan, I would like to commend you as both the greatest rugby player on the planet and a great ambassador for fathers who care about their children's development, both physical and educational. You should win a Nobel Prize! I will always back you as you will always back our kids. Here's to the future.

The best rugby player EVER
Tana has written his name in the history books of Rugby as the best rugby player EVER. I think there is no other player that has his skills, courage, confidence and respectful attitude.

Tana is the greatest
I think Tana is the greatest! Im proud to be a Samoan. This is my first year of playing Rugby, and it was a bit scary at first but it was cool being a part of the team. When I think of Tana and how hard he tried, it just makes me try harder. I know he loves kids cause he works hard to encourage everyone to stay at school. Tana, you rock!

What a great guy
What a great guy, he has done so much for rugby. A truly remarkable outstanding player. I am so fortunate I got to see him play in Auckland and a truly lovely man.

All points count
Tana is a history for NZ's rugby team, who represents the true Polynesian colour. What makes him the best is his confidence in every decision he makes, all points count on him and his captaincy, which is something most other captains failed to realize.

An inspiration to young rugby 'hopefuls'
What can I say about Tana Umaga..he is a legend! He is a brilliant captain and of course an absolutely awesome rugby player. I was lucky enough to catch his final AB's game in Scotland (sniff, sniff). The response he got from the crowd after the match was incredible. Chanting "U-ma-u-ma-ga". I'm sure it would fall under one of his many 'proud moments'. He is truly in an inspiration to young rugby 'hopefuls' and to his fellow team mates.

Supporting the All Blacks no matter what it takes
I think Tana is really great. I am officially a New Zealander but I moved to Australia a year ago. I am going to keep supporting the All Blacks no matter what it takes.
