Tusi Pisi

Tusi Pisi had the kind of journeyman career I genuinely respect — a Samoan fly-half who plied his trade across Europe, Japan and New Zealand rather than staying in one comfortable league. That nomadic path tells me he was both adaptable and in demand. Playing fly-half but also covering centre and full-back marks him as a thinking back, the sort coaches trust to read a game. So it makes sense he's now head coach of the Samoan national team; the move from clever playmaker to leader of a tier-two nation feels earned. Samoan rugby punches above its weight, and people like Pisi are why.
