Former Fiji Under 20’s lock Isoa Nasilasila is known for his aggression, physicality and mobility. He shows great footwork and moves very well for a man his size.

Nasilasila was announced as Drua player #20 by the FRU and the Southern Districts lock says he didn’t hesitate when it came time to sign with the newly established Super Rugby team.

“Basically I always wanted to join it was just whether the opportunity was there. As soon as they put the contract on the table, I was set, I was ready to sign.” (excerpt from Fiji times)

He runs great lines, has a great offload and reads the defense really well.

He has represented the Fiji Warriors and the Fiji under 20’s in 2019. Also played alongside some of his new Drua teammates including Simione Kuruvoli, Meli Tuni, Chris Minimbi and Tevita Ikanivere.

At only 22, the former Westfields Sports High student provides a great prospect for the Flying Fijians but faces stiff competition being in one of the stronger positions in terms of depth for the Drua.

Nasilasila’s family hail from Viseisei in Vuda with maternal links to Kiribati and Kadavu.
