Christian Leali’ifano, a former player for the Wallabies and Samoa, is the star player in the RFCLA team. He joined them for the new season after finishing his time with Moana Pasifika.
The team also includes former Red Dane Zader and several talented players from the Shute Shield, like Randwick captain Ben Houston. The team is coached by Dave Dennis and Stephen Hoiles, who are both legends from the Waratahs.
“Super Rugby Pacific is happy to congratulate Fijian Drua and RFC Los Angeles for working together to make this special event happen,” said Super Rugby Pacific CEO Jack Mesley.
“With Los Angeles set to host the next Olympics and the 2031 Rugby World Cup coming to the USA, this is an exciting time for rugby in America.”
