Rupeni Caucaunibuca Biography

Rupeni Caucaunibuca is one of the most popular and richest Rugby Union Player who was born on June 5, 1980 in Fiji. Rupeni Caucaunibuca, /ru:/ e: ‘daU.d.aU.n I m. ‘b.u.d.a:/ ; born on 5 June 1980), is a former Fijian rugby union footballer. He last played professionally for Northland at the ITM Cup. He was originally from Bua, and his nickname was “Bua Bullet”.

He was selected in the Pacific Islanders rugby team squad for the 2006 European tour. He only participated in the match against Scotland, after missing the game against Wales. Also, he lost his passport and was unable to play in the final match of the series against Ireland. He scored one try in the Islanders match against Scotland and set up another for Daniel Leo.

In May 2006 his one-year ban was lifted after he showed remorse and a desire to play for Fiji. In his return match, he scored a try as Fiji lost to the Junior All Blacks, 35–17 in Suva. Later, in a mid-year Test against Six Nations participant Italy, he scored one of Fiji’s four tries in a 29–18 win. When Caucau failed to arrive in France for Agen’s preseason training camp in July 2006, it was widely rumoured that he had yet again displayed his past lack of discipline. However, Agen’s management confirmed that he had contracted a tropical virus in Fiji and had been hospitalised there for several weeks. He was released in August, but lost 12 kg (27 lb) during his illness. Caucaunibuca did not make the return flight to France, as he had been told by his doctor that he could not travel abroad because of his sickness. During his recovery, he witnessed the birth of his daughter. Contrary to reports that he had decided to retire prematurely from rugby, he had also confirmed that he had spoken to his agent, who relayed the message to his Agen Club president that he would join them in the near future. Caucau would eventually be cleared for travel abroad, and would return to France that October. He made his comeback in Agen’s first 2006–07 Heineken Cup fixture, a 19–17 home win over Edinburgh. Although he did not score, he was named man of the match.

On 23 December 2007 he made his return for Agen scoring three tries in their 33–0 win over Toulon.

Caucaunibuca, who had been in France for the All Blacks and New Zealand Maori games, returned to Fiji in May 2005 to prepare for the All Blacks’ matches. He did not appear in either the June or July matches. Although he missed Fiji’s World Cup qualifying match against Tonga, he was recalled to play in their match against Samoa. Caucaunibuca, who assured Wayne Pivac that he would play in Fiji’s first World Cup qualifying match against Tonga in Suva, missed a flight from Samoa because he was forced to stay in Fiji due to an infected tooth. He was banned by the Fiji Rugby Union for one year. This meant that he would not be allowed to participate in the 2005 Autumn Tour of Europe or the 2006 South Pacific Tri-Nations series.
