Viliame Satala

Viliame Satala (born 19 July 1972 in Lautoka) is a Fijian rugby union footballer.

Satala is well known for the physical side of his game, the precision timing of his tackles: New Zealanders Christian Cullen, Tony Monaghan and Craig DeGoldi all had to leave the field on the IRB 7s circuit after meeting Satala and more recently Australian Scott Fava was stretchered off in the Commonwealth Games in 2005.

In a club match in France in November 2000, Satala suffered a double fracture to his left arm, an injury that ruled him out of the World Cup 7s in Argentina.

He continued his impressive try record with three more in the Rugby World Cup qualifiers in June 2002, then helped Fiji to a silver medal at the Commonwealth Games in Manchester before joining NEC Harlequins in London.

Satala also very early in his career at the age of 20 had a stint with Sri Lankan Rugby Union side Kandy Sports Club in 1992.
