Tevita Li (born 23 March 1995) is a New Zealand Rugby Union player who currently plays as a winger for North Harbour in the ITM Cup.[1][2] and the Blues in Super Rugby.[3][4] Blues team mates have mentioned that Tevita can bench 220 kg.

Career

Li made his senior debut for North Harbour during the 2013 ITM Cup while aged just 18 years old and still attending Massey High School. However, one try in four appearances was enough to convince the Blues to include him in their wider training group for the 2014 Super Rugby season. Some impressive outings in pre-season saw him named on the bench for the Blues opening game away to the Highlanders. He made his Super Rugby debut as a second-half substitute in a 21-29 loss for his side.[5]
