Rugby dream over for Tongan bus crash victim who lost leg

Three years on from the fatal bus crash in Gisborne that killed three people from a Tonga school brass band, one victim who lost his leg said he can't watch the Rugby World Cup because it reminds him of the dream he can no longer fulfil - to play for his homeland, Tonga.

"When I had my two legs, I had a lot of dreams about my future," said 21-year-old Tevita, who was the then headboy of Mailefihi Siu'ilikutapu College.

"I dream about being a rugby player for Tonga and being in the Tongan Army Brass Band but now it's changed my life so I can't do my dream for my future."
