Emerging Western Force back Reesjan Pasitoa is a proud West Aussie, with mixed heritage with Niuean father and German mother.

Reesjan left Perth as a teenager to take up a scholarship and after a stint with the ACT Brumbies, returned home in 2022.

After a strong first year for the Force, he suffered an ACL injury keeping him out in 2023 followed by a dislocated elbow on the eve of the 2024 season. Host Cairo Takarangi chatted that and more.
