Waqa Unleashed: Fijian Powerhouse Dismantles Waratahs in Super Rugby Storm

Add another name to the ever-growing list of Fijian stars lighting up Super Rugby Pacific—Etonia Waqa. At just 25 years old, Waqa is officially listed as a lock, but he plays with the flair and explosiveness of a winger. In an electrifying performance against the Waratahs, he left defenders in his wake time and time again. Waqa tore through the opposition with three blistering line breaks and shrugged off seven tackles—all in just the first half. His combination of raw power, lightning speed, and athleticism was simply too much for the visitors to handle.

Alongside him, Motikiai Murray was just as destructive. He set the tone early, slicing through defenders with a brilliant solo break to score the opening try. The Fijians were on fire.
