Some of Fiji's midfield backs were the best in the world in their time....Pio Bosco (70s) Viliame Satala, Kaiava Salusalu, Alfred Uluinayau, Noa Nadruku... Then we had wingers who were also amongst the best in the world in their time....Rupeni Caucau, Marika Vunibaka, Tom Mitchell, Vilimoni Delasau and numerous others...vinaka
Soo Proud of Noa and those other Fiji men have gone before that opened doors for all other leaguies from Fiji to progress to the NRL. We need to treasure some of the advice that he stated concerning being respectful and having good training/ work ethic. Vinaka valevu tau na vei vosa momona and being a trailblazer.
Noa Nadruku, one of several great centres who played for Fiji in the professional era which also include Seru Rabeni, Vili (Stretcher) Satala and current Fiji captain Semi Radradra.
Noa was an absolute nightmare for the opposition team. The manner in which he repeatedly took on defenders along the sideline was just beautiful to watch. Something that you rarely see in today's game of rugby even. A superstar of the 90's and one of the finest players that has ever graced the Rugby league field. Thank you Mr Nadruku for all the wonderful memories.
Noa was definitely the best rover Fiji has ever had, he set the benchmark for a rover's play. He was a master defender in the roving position and no one has come close to reading the defensive pattern like him. During his time in Fiji, he was the best but there was one player he could never break in the local rugby scene. His name is Vula Dakuitoga. Whether 7s or 15s, Vula had the measure of Noa in every single game they come across. Every time the name of Noa Nadruku pops up in grog seasons, some very observant rugby supporters always keep mentioning that he can't get through Vula Dakuitoga so one day I decided to go and watch a 7s tournament at the National Stadium in Suva as Vula's team (Nadera) was in the same pool as Noa's team (Hyatt). They both played the same position and sometime during the game, Noa got the ball and while he tried to run or dodge Vula, Vula gave him one tackle that took him out of the game. In that game, Noa couldn't break the Nadera defense because Vula tracked him like an eagle all over the field. In 15s it was the same, they both play 2nd 5/8, Vula for Rewa, Noa for Nadroga, same result. As fate must have its way, both players then moved to rugby league at the same time and formed Fiji's first ever rugby league team. The rest is history.
There's never been another fijian sevens rugby player that stamped his mark and made that position his like Noa Nadruku he was ruthless both in defence and attack.
A humble player who does the talking on the field... Side step master and a ruthless defender... Played for Canberra Raiders with the likes of Mal Meninga, Brett Mullins, Ricky Stewart, Laurie Daley and other Kangaroo stars

Noa Nadruku, One of Fiji’s great rugby player, always humble and respectable and does his talking in the field.
One of the greatest centre of all time, Mr Noa Nadruku.

The best rover of all time in the rugby sevens code

But why did the Fiji team selectors didn't pick Vula to be part of any Fiji Team i mean if he is a good defender than Noa as we all know
@@esthernakavulevu4872 that's a good question. From my perspective, I believe it was attitude. Noa was a more disciplined player than Vula.
It's not about Vula Dakuitoga interview, it's for someone else's apply that comments during Vulà Dakuitoga interview

Vinaka Noa...'rover/centre' specialist...thanx for the victories...stay blessed!!!
There's never been another fijian sevens rugby player that stamped his mark and made that position his like Noa Nadruku he was ruthless both in defence and attack.
Great advise from one of Fiji's favorite sons and rugby union/league ambassador, the humble gentleman from the Nations capital, Canberra.
