I'd have said Inosai Toga too as he looked Fijian and Toga was our only Fijian player back then from memory. Played for us in the 70s or was it the 80s.

I watched both the Toga brothers play for us. It was a very sad day when Apisai went home to Fiji in the off season between 72 and 73. On his return he collapsed one night at pre season training. Apparently he cut his foot whilst he was home on coral it wasn't treated properly . They rushed him to St George hospital but unfortunately the tetanus infection had grown too much and he passed away. The Dragons arranged for his body to be repatriated back to Fiji he was escorted home by our then cpt Changa Langlands. Very very sad.

You have a more retentive memory than I. That is tragic. Come to think of it I do recall a Inosi Toga playing for us. I think at the time I rated him over Apisai.
