Lausii Taliauli (born 8 June 1993) is a New Zealand-born Australian rugby union footballer who currently plays as a winger for the Brumbies in Super Rugby.[1][2] He also represented the Canberra Vikings in the inaugural National Rugby Championship.[3][4]

Career

Born in New Zealand but raised on Australia's Gold Coast since the age of 14, Taliauli began to make strides in his rugby career playing for the famous Southport School. After graduation he switched to rugby league and played for the Gold Coast Titans under-20 side for 2 years before concentrating on sevens rugby.[1] Issues regarding his Australian citizenship saw him released to play for the Canberra Vikings for the latter part of the 2014 National Rugby Championship season.[2] His pace and size made such an impact in Canberra that he was awarded a full-time contract with the Brumbies for the 2015 Super Rugby season.[1]

Taliauli represented the Australia Sevens team in 2014.[5]
