Leni Apisai Biography

Leni Apisai is one of the most popular and richest Athlete who was born on March 8, 1996 in Porirua, Wellington Region, New Zealand. Leni Chris Anitoni Appisai (born 8 March, 1996) is a New Zealand rugby union player who currently serves as Hooker in Wellington in the New Zealand’s domestic Mitre 10 Cup and the Blues in the international Super Rugby competition.

Wellington could not secure promotion back into the Premiership at the first attempt of asking, finishing second in the table behind Hawke’s Bay on the Championship log , only to be beat 26-25 against the exact team at the end of the playoffs. Even though the season was a source of frustration both for the team and but for Apisai personally Apisai, it was a time to benefit from Motu Matu’u’s participation with Samoa during the 2014 Rugby World Cup to establish him as the Lions number one choice in the number two jersey, playing in all 12 games of the season, scoring two attempts.

Doors began to open for him ahead of the 2016 season with Mitchell leaving after his short-term contract had expired and Coles and Matu’u both being struck down by injury in pre-season. Apisai was left temporarily as the ‘Canes first choice number 2 and debuted in week 1 of the season, a 52-10 defeat away to the Brumbies. This heavy defeat was in stark contrast to what followed throughout the rest of the year as the ‘Canes bounced back to lift the Super Rugby title in August with a 20-3 win over the Lions. Apisai started the first 3 games of the year and played a total of 5 matches in his first season as a member of the franchise’s senior squad.

Matu’u departed for Gloucester prior to the 2016 Mitre 10 Cup leaving Apisai unchallenged as Wellington’s main hooker for the year. He played 10 of their 11 games during the year and helped himself to 3 tries as they once again finished 2nd in the Championship, this time behind Otago and were then surprisingly defeated 40-37 at home by North Harbour in the playoff semi- finals with his 11th minute try scored in vain.

After only two provincial appearances in Wellington, Apisai was named as a member of the Hurricanes general training team in the lead-up to 2015’s Super Rugby season. It was not surprising given his youth and lack of experience at the top level Apisai was unable to take to the field at any time during the entire season, assuming the position as the fourth player in the team’s to rake in the back of Dane Coles, Motu Matu’u and Brayden Mitchell.
