Deceptively strong for his size, Moses Rauluni works hard in the loose and recycles quickly. Brought up in Brisbane and the son of 1970s Fiji halfback Taito Rauluni, ‘Mojee’ played for the Australian U19s in 1993-94. He made his Test debut in 1996 and was a late inclusion to the 1999 World Cup squad.

Serious injury kept him out of the picture from 2001, and he disappeared from the Fiji team until early 2003 but played in all four of Fiji’s World Cup matches.

To ensure coach Wayne Pivac could see his talents properly in 2004, he came to Fiji one month before the trials and played two matches in the Colonial Cup. He was duly selected for Fiji, and skippered them to victory in the Pacific Tri-Nations.
