@nepia Played sevens for Aussie I believe.
Not sure whether he's Aussie captured though, considering he was under the age of twenty when he last played for Aussie 7s (if Wiki is correct, that was in 2013; he turned 20 in 2014).

Junior Laloifi
According to Wiki he was born in Hastings. I've no knowledge if Wiki is correct or not.
It must be correct, because it's also mentioned in his Turbos profile, which also says he has NZ nationality.

@stargazer Thanks for that. Never knew that the eligibility rules only applied to players over the age of twenty. He should be ok then!

They apply to players over the age of twenty only since the most recent rule change in 2017? correct?
I would think if he played in for Aus 7s in 2013 then he is captured.
Although don't underestimate the ability of a big Tier 1 Nation to find a way to overturn an eligibility situation ....

From: https://www.worldrugby.org/news/245382?lang=en
Sevens players will only be captured for the purposes of Regulation 8 where the player has represented either of (i) the senior national representative sevens team of a union where the player has reached the age of 20 on or before the date of participation; or (ii) the national representative sevens team of a union in the Olympic Games or Rugby World Cup Sevens, having reached the age of majority on or before the date of participation in such tournament (effective 1 July, 2017)

When they've changed the law to trap eligibility in the past they've done it retrospectively, it would be weird if they didn't when going the other way but it's WR so I guess it's a roll of the dice.
Also, I don't think NZ has had much luck overturning eligibility situations - we couldn't lock in Caucau and Sivi had to wait an extra three years before being AB eligible.

Waikato on a roll.
Guys stocks moving up in this Mitre 10 campaign
Samisoni Taukei'aho
James Tucker
Quinn Tupaea
Matty LansdownStocks down
Can be harsh but I thought this year Bailyn Sullivan would make moves but Tupaea has quickly surpassed him. Fear he is an age grade star who has hit his celling. Tupaea looks to have good future.Also Karpick is showing he is not physical enough to make next step. Should dominant at this level but is so-so

Tucker was quite amazing last night. Add Fletcher Smith to that list too!
