David Lemi
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
David Lemi (born 10th February 1982) is a professional rugby player who plays for on the wing Bristol Rugby in the Guinness Premiership. Weighing in at 75kg and only measuring 1m.75 he is one of the smaller professional rugby players however; his electric pace and low centre of gravity enabled him to be the 2nd highest Premiership try scorer for 2005-06 season, and is looking to better the feat for 2006-07.
His skills and leadership made him one of the best ever 7s player for Samoa, and as well as representing the 7s side he has won 7 caps for the senior 15-a-side team, and surely will be looking to make the 2007 World Cup squad for Samoa.
He caught Bristol Coach Richard Hill's eye in the Safari Sevens 2005 in Kenya and joined Bristol on a one year deal.
David quickly impressed in 2005-6 and scored 8 tries in 12 appearances, and having become a crowd favourite at the Memorial Stadium. He signed a two year contract extension in Spring 2006.
