Atu Moli

At 30, Atu Moli is among the more experienced forwards in the Moana Pasifika squad, bringing physical presence and hard-earned know-how to the side's pack. Born on 12 June 1995, he operates in the back row, where his game is built on aggressive defense, strong ball-carrying, and relentless support play. Moli's value to Moana Pasifika lies as much in leadership and example as in his on-field output: a seasoned campaigner who sets the tone in contact and offers stability among the forwards. His core responsibilities revolve around the breakdown, disrupting opposition ball, securing quick possession for his own side, and arriving in numbers to support the carrier. In defense he is a willing and committed tackler, content to take on the physical work that underpins a competitive pack. As one of the senior heads in a developing franchise, Moli helps guide younger team-mates while continuing to contribute the carrying and defensive graft that have long been hallmarks of his game. His experience makes him an important figure in Moana Pasifika's efforts to establish themselves in Super Rugby Pacific.
