The Tahs Saviour?

[RugbyReg]

When is the big man, Ratu Nasiganiyavi, come back to the fold? Any word?

 

[Moses]

Not that I've read yet but he must be getting close... funny I was thinking exactly the same thing about 2 hours ago ; got to the point of googling it then remembered I've got buckley's of spelling his name and went back to work..

He is, of course, a Queenslander. Funny that.

 

[Pfitzy]

So how did he end up playing for Randwick? :nta:

Just what the Tahs need! Another winger in NSW who will never see the ball.

Anyhoo Ratu in on the wing, Turner to FB, SNK to 10 ?

I see the nz tab has the blues $1.60, tahs $2.25 Get on a high scoring draw.

Ratu Nasiganiyavi was one of the finds of the 2008 season, with his hard-running and tryscoring prowess earning the powerhouse wing a Super 14 contract with the Waratahs.


After featuring for Perth Spirit in the 2007 Mazda Australian Rugby Championship, Nasiganiyavi headed east and instantly hit the ground running for Randwick scoring 13 tries in his first seven matches. His club Rugby season was punctuated with the IRB Junior World Championship, where he crossed seven times in five matches to be the tournament's leading tryscorer.


The cousin of fellow Waratah wing Lote Tuqiri, Nasiganiyavi was born on 31 January 1988 and played his first match for the Junior Waratahs on the 2008 Development Tour of Fiji less than 200 metres from his mother's village in Nadi.

Ahem, where did he move to NSW from at the bequest of a certain cousin? And how long had he been living there?

Agree. Noddy is trolling well today - well done!

He's a nudgee boy I think - son of Isei Sigivinyavi who played for Qld in the late 80's, early 90's.

Tried Brisbane club rugby, and did not make a great impact, went to Perth where he made the ARC team but got little game time, and decided to go to Randwick to get a good shot at a Waratahs, and therefore Wallaby jersey.
