Tevita Ofa

For Moana Pasifika, Tevita Ofa provides the kind of front-row physicality that underpins any successful forward pack. Born on 18 January 2002, the prop combines set-piece strength with a willingness to carry hard in the loose, giving his side go-forward ball around the fringes. He has earned international recognition with Samoa, adding Test-match experience to a steadily developing club career. Ofa's primary value lies at the scrum, where his work is central to securing a stable platform from which the backs can operate. Beyond the set-piece, he contributes as a ball-carrier and in the collisions on both sides of the ball, embracing the abrasive work that props are judged on. Still relatively early in his career, he profiles as a dependable member of the Moana Pasifika pack whose physical edge and scrummaging make him an important contributor to the team's forward effort. As he accumulates experience, his focus will be on adding consistency to the raw power that already makes him a handful in the tight exchanges.
