Former Flying Fijians inside-centre and fly-half Seremaia Bai was known for his composure and game-breaking abilities and also creating opportunities for his outside men.

Bai was deceptive and always proved a tricky man to tackle given his size and footwork. He also was an astute kicker in general play and a great goal kicker.

He first appeared for Fiji as a Sevens player in 2002 before joining Cross Keys in Wales. This would be the start of a lengthy and decorated career for the now entrepreneur.

Bai’s finest performances came at the 2007 RWC where he was instrumental in Fiji’s push to the Quarter Final stages. He played starting fly-half in place of the injured Nicky Little in the Quarter-Final against the Springboks and was one of Fiji’s best players on the day.

He is well travelled having played professionally in New Zealand, Australia, Japan, Wales, France and England, winning the European Challenge Cup in 2007 with Clermont and the Top 14 in 2013 with Castres.

He retired in 2016 as one of Fiji’s greatest ever backs.

Seremaia’s mission now is to empower the youth of Fiji through the BAI (Be An Inspiration) programme.
