Tevita Leo-Latu (born 3 July 1981) is a professional rugby league footballer who plays as a hooker for the Point Chevalier Pirates.

After some impressive performances for his club during the 2004 season Latu was called up to the New Zealand national rugby league team international side for the middle of the year one-off test match against the Australians.

As further details emerged, it was revealed that Latu and the alleged victim Brooke Peninton[1] had both been present at Cronulla's Kingsway BP service station at 3.am.

Allegedly the two individuals had been in discussion before an altercation arose ending with Latu assaulting Peninton, punching her in the face, resulting in a broken nose and other minor injuries[2].

On Wednesday, 24 May The Sydney Morning Herald announced that the NRL had de-registered Latu as a player, and stated that it would refuse to register him if he signed with another club.

On 7 August 2007 Tevita Leo-Latu received a six-match ban for making a racist remark toward Warrington Wolves' Kevin Penny on 17 June earlier that year.
