Fijiana 7s Olympic Games bronze medalist Ana Maria Naimasi is set to make her mark in the 2025 Super Rugby W season as a part of the Brumbies squad. Leaving the abbreviated game to focus on the 15s format, Naimasi’s impressive skills caught the attention of Head Coach Andy Friend, securing her a place on the team this season.
Joining Naimasi in the Brumbies lineup is robust number eight and Wallaroo Tabua Tuinakauvadra, adding further strength to the squad. Fans of Fiji will have the opportunity to see both players showcase their talents when the Brumbies face off against the Fijiana Drua at Churchill Park in Lautoka on Saturday, March 15. The Brumbies will kickstart their season by playing against Western Force on March 1st at HBF Park in Perth.
This incorporation of talented Fijian players into a premier rugby league reflects a growing recognition of their skills on an international stage. With athletes like Naimasi and Tuinakauvadra making their debuts in the Super Rugby W, there is a bright future ahead for Fijian rugby, inspiring many young girls and athletes in the region.
