Chase Tiatia

Wellington-born Tiatia joined the Force ahead of the 2023 season after stints with New Zealand Super Rugby clubs Chiefs and Hurricanes. The 28-year-old has embedded himself within the Force group as a versatile back who brings X-factor but also as the social committee leader, with a strong want to bring displaced members of the playing group together. Played at Under-20 level for Samoa, where his father hails from. More recently had a stellar NPC with Hawke’s Bay, helping them reach the final with a hat-trick in the semi-final.
