Zuriel Togiatama

The Fijian Drua have made a virtue of fast, fearless back-row play, and Zuriel Togiatama embodies that identity. Born on 3 February 1999, the flanker offers the explosive speed, fierce tackling and disruptive breakdown work that are hallmarks of Fijian forward play. His role is central to the Drua's approach: winning turnover ball, carrying with intent and linking the forward pack to a backline brimming with attacking threat. Togiatama's athleticism allows him to cover ground quickly and contribute to the high-tempo, ball-in-hand style that has made the Drua such a distinctive and dangerous side in Super Rugby Pacific. Whether contesting at the ruck or supporting a break, he brings energy and physical edge to the contest. As part of a squad that has rapidly earned respect across the competition, Togiatama continues to showcase the qualities that make Fijian loose forwards so coveted. The Drua's rise has given home-based Fijian talent a professional platform that previous generations lacked, and Togiatama is among those benefiting from that pathway. Equally capable of a thunderous tackle or an offload in the tackle, he brings the unpredictability that defines the side's appeal, and his continued growth adds further depth to a back row that has become one of Super Rugby Pacific's most watchable.
