KONRAD Hurrell doesn’t like snakes. He doesn’t like Andrew Fifita more.

The two mates were in Cairns yesterday with the Tongan Rugby League World Cup side when they stopped to see a snake handler.

A clearly nervous Hurrell was preparing to reach out and touch the snake when Fifita pulled this prank.

Fifita and Hurrell face Scotland with Tonga on Sunday as they launch their world cup campaign.

Both men are among a large group of NRL stars who defected from the national sides to join the Tongan camp.
