Labelled by Simon Cron as a “street fighter”, Auckland-born Ekuasi joined the Force in the off-season after two seasons with the Melbourne Rebels, having debuted for the Blues in 2022. The emerging back-rower made 27 appearances for four tries for the Rebels, including one against the Force in Round 14 of the 2023 season. Ekuasi, who has Tongan heritage, earned a scholarship at St Peters School Cambridge in his final year of school, where he was a boarder. Ekuasi’s visible neck tattoo is the acronym of South Auckland where he proudly hails.
