The otherwise soft-spoken rugby player is a force to reckon with on field.

Laisana Likuceva lets her skills speak for herself.

Originally from Yasawa, the 22-year-old was part of the Fijiana 7s team which represented the country in the 2020 Tokyo Olympics Games, winning a bronze medal for our country.

Ms Likuceva joined the Yasawa Women’s Rugby team in the Vanua Championship last year.

She also played for Yasawa in the 2020 Skipper Cup with the hopes of donning the white jersey – which she successfully did.
