Melani Nanai (born 3 August 1993) is a Samoan rugby union player who currently plays as a wing for Auckland in the ITM Cup.[1][2][3]
Career
Nanai made his first ventures in senior rugby in the Auckland region of New Zealand, representing them in sevens rugby as well as winning the World 10s Championship with the Blues.[4] His fast and elusive running at that level saw him called up to the Auckland ITM Cup team in 2014 and he made 5 appearances without scoring any tries.[2] This was enough to earn him a spot in the Blues wider training group for the 2015 Super Rugby season.[5][6]
International career
Nanai was a member of the Samoa Under-20 team which competed in the 2013 IRB Junior World Championship in France where he scored 3 tries in 5 appearances.[7][8]
