Robert Valetini (born 3 September 1998) is an Australian rugby union player who plays as a back row forward[1] for the Brumbies in Super Rugby[2] and for Australia.[3]
The son of Fijian parents – father Manueli Valetini and mother Finau Valetini – the Melbourne-born Robert Valetini attended Westall Secondary College.[4][5] He played representative rugby for Victorian state teams at under-16, under-18 and under-20 levels.[1] A broken leg in his last year at school meant he missed a chance at selection for the 2016 Australian Schoolboys team,[6] but he was called up to play for the Melbourne Rising in the National Rugby Championship (NRC) later that season.[6]
