Joseva Ulago Domolailai (born 11 December 1985) is a Fijian former international rugby union player.[1]

Rugby career

[edit]

Born in Sigatoka, Domolailai was primarily a back-row forward, capped 13 times for Fiji. He made his early international appearances as a lock, debuting against Tonga during Fiji's 2008 IRB Pacific Nations Cup campaign.[2] His career included a Test against Scotland at Murrayfield, where he had to be stretchered off with a broken ankle.[3]

Domolailai joined French club USA Limoges in 2007 and aside from one season in Italian rugby spent his entire career in France, also playing for AC Bobigny, FC Auch, Section Paloise, US Carcassonne and Rouen Normandie.[4] He played some rugby in the Top 14 during his time in Pau and won a Pro D2 title with the club in 2015.[5]
