The Fijian Latui is a professional rugby union team based in Suva that plays in the Global Rapid Rugby competition.[1]
Officially launched in March 2019, the Latui played four Pacific Showcase matches during May and June 2019,[2] before joining the inaugural Global Rapid Rugby tournament in 2020.[3]
It was originally expected that the team would compete in 2019 for Rapid Rugby's A$1 million first prize,[4] but the tournament launch was postponed for a year due to the shortened time frame following World Rugby approval in November 2018.[5] The Showcase Series was arranged for 2019 instead.[6]
Latui, in Fijian, refers to the Fiji goshawk, a small hawk found in that country.[1] The Latui can hunt its prey with either a stealthy glide or a rapid flapping attack.[1]
