FOLAU NIUA
He's quiet. He credits God as much as anyone for his talent and his success. He goes to play for the 15s team, flies back to play for the 7s team and shows little sign of any problems switching. He kicks for points, except when he's not needed, and then it's all good. And yet when called upon he can knock them over from the sidelines. He is powerful, sees the game well, and is settling very nicely into working with Madison Hughes (see gifs below). What's not to like? Niua is quiet, not flashy, and the USA 7s team needs him. A lot.
