Lolagi Visinia (born 17 January 1993) is a New Zealand rugby union player who currently plays for FC Grenoble in the Rugby Pro D2.[1] He is a former member of the Kelston Boys' High School 1st XV, New Zealand Schools team and has also played for the Auckland and New Zealand Sevens teams.
Playing career
Having represented many Auckland, Blues and New Zealand age-grade rugby sides in both 15-aside and sevens (including playing for the New Zealand Schools team) while with Kelston Boys' High School, Visinia was selected to play for the senior Auckland team as soon as he left high school. Before he played any National Provincial Championship rugby for the union, he was selected for the Gordon Tietjens coached New Zealand sevens team for the Hong Kong and Japan legs of the IRB Sevens World Series circuit.[2] That brought vital experience into his debut NPC premiership season with Auckland, where he made 6 appearances, mainly off the bench. In the 31–18 loss to Canterbury in the ITM Cup Premiership Final, Visinia scored his first try for the team in the last play of the game.[citation needed]
