New Zealand rugby league legend who converted to rugby union and became a Lions tourist, combining outstanding skill at fullback with the rare physical and mental qualities to excel in both codes at the highest level.
Roger Tuivasa-Sheck is a New Zealand rugby league fullback who was the 2018 Dally M Player of the Year and is widely considered one of the finest fullbacks of his generation. His extraordinary speed — he ran sub-10-second 100 metres — exceptional finishing ability, and dynamic counter-attacking from the back made him the most dangerous fullback in the NRL at his peak. He later switched to rugby union with the All Blacks.
