Just 19 years of age, Isaia Toeava joined the All Blacks in 2005 after only eight appearances in the Air New Zealand NPC but certainly held his own in his Test debut, at fullback against Scotland at Edinburgh.

A talented exponent of the Sevens game, Toeava has the skills and athleticism to play anywhere from first five-eighths out.

He played at second-five for New Zealand Under 19 but primarily at fullback for the Hurricanes in the 2006 Rebel Sport Super 14 – he was the only draft player, from Auckland, in the Hurricanes squad – and is predicted to have a bright future as a penetrative midfield back.

At just 21 years of age, Toeava earned a recall to the All Blacks in 2007 on the back of some excellent form for the Blues earlier in the year in the Rebel Sport Super 14.
