Siate Tokolahi

Tongan prop Siate Tokolahi will debut for the Otago Highlanders tonight against the Waikato Chiefs in Dunedin.

Siate attended Liahona High School but later moved to New Zealand on a sports scholarship to Sacred Heart College in Auckland. He later switched to St. Bede's College in Christchurch.

The 24-year-old Siate joins two other Tongan-born Highlanders, Malakai Fekitoa and Siua Halanukonuka. The Waikato Chiefs have Tongan-born prop Siegfried Fisiihoi, Sosefo Kautai and former Mate Ma'a Tonga winger Glen Fisiiahi.

Siate is a strong prospect for the 'Ikale Tahi. He is well experienced and has played in the Super Rugby competition since 2014. He made 31 appearances for the Canterbury Crusaders in 2014, and 28 appearances for the Waikato Chiefs in 2015 and 2016.

Siate stands 6'0 feet tall and weighs 116 kilos.
