BIOGRAPHY

Rokolisoa has developed into one of the biggest attacking threats in the international sevens game.

A stalwart of the provincial sevens scene, Akuila Rokolisoa turned heads playing for Counties Manukau at the 2018 National Sevens and made his All Blacks Sevens debut in Hong Kong in 2018.

He was called into the Commonwealth Games squad as injury cover the following week and played at the Gold Coast Games, claiming a gold medal.

Rokolisoa played a starring role in the series-winning team in 2023, becoming just the sixth player in the history of the game to score more than 400 points in one season. He won the New Zealand men’s Sevens player of the year award and was a finalist for the World Rugby Sevens player of the year.

Before joining the All Blacks Sevens squad full time, Rokolisoa was an electrician.
