Jacob Rauluni is currently the most prominent in a family of international halfbacks. His father, Taito, played halfback for Fiji, as does his brother Mosese. And his first cousin Waisale Serevi began his rugby career at halfback. Jake grew up in Brisbane, and played for Australian Schoolboys and Australian Under 21s before choosing Fiji. At school he used to play flanker, but the Aussie Schoolboys team needed a halfback for the tour of the UK in 1991, and Jake says he was handed the No.9 jersey because of his family's tradition. He had a very good combination with Fijian first five eighth Nicky Little. He has kept a regular spot in the Fiji team for the past decade, and also played for the Queensland Reds in Super 12 from 1995 - 2002, playing in the semi-finals in 2000 and 2002. He played his first Telecom Fiji Cup game in July 2000, turning out alongside Marika Vunibaka to help Suva defeat Tailevu. Jacob had an extended spell playing rugby in the UK, and is best known for helping Rotherham Titans win promotion to the Premiership. In 2006 he played three tests for The Barbarians. He retired from international rugby in 2007, having played 52 tests. He played his last test against Japan as captain. ==Test career== Jacob has been capped 52 times by his country including captaining them in the 2003 season. Remarkably he has played in three World Cups in 1995, 1999 and 2003. 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア(Wikipedia)』 ■ウィキペディアで「Jacob Rauluni」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
