Tamani silent over his next move

Backrow Joseva Tamani is leaving the Fijian Drua for the second time.

There were speculation that he could be heading back to New Zealand. Tamani played at lock for Otago last season’s National Provincial Championship.

When approached Tamani decline to reveal the club he is joining.

“There will be an official announcement coming in the next few weeks,” he said.

“I’d like to keep that private. It will probably be made public in a few weeks, but I’m happy with the deal.”

Reflecting on this season, Tamani admitted it has been challenging.

“This year, I can say it was not really a good one, but I’ve done my best. Playing in two positions, at blindside flanker and lock, has been tough, but I managed to get through the year.” Standing at 1.95 metres and weighing 108kg, Tamani has represented Melbourne Rising, Hunter Wildfires, Colomiers (French ProD2), Otago and the Drua in Super Rugby Pacific.

He is recognised for his agility, pace and ball-winning ability, making him one of Fiji’s promising loose forwards.
