150 Premier Games – Aukuso Tuitama

This weekend, Kuso Tuitama reaches an incredible milestone as he straps on the boots for his 150th Premier game.

Kuso's rugby journey began in Porirua with Norths as a young fella before spending a successful stint at Ories. He eventually found his home at Johnsonville, where he has become a valued member of the club and a respected teammate.

A hardworking man both on and off the field, if Kuso isn't playing rugby, you'll probably find him on the tools working as a builder. His work ethic, commitment, and dedication are second to none.

On the field, Kuso is known for his outstanding rugby IQ. Whether it's slicing through the defensive line, throwing his trademark skip pass, or rolling up his sleeves with tough pick-and-go carries to help the forwards, he always finds a way to make an impact for his team.

Behind every milestone is a strong support network, and Kuso is incredibly grateful for the love and encouragement of his family. A special thank you to his parents, siblings, wider aiga, his fiancée Leah, and his children, Cora and Saul, who have supported him throughout his rugby journey. Their sacrifices, encouragement, and unwavering support have helped him reach this special occasion.

Reaching 150 Premier games is a testament to Kuso's resilience, consistency, and passion for the game.

Everyone at Johnsonville Rugby Football Club is incredibly proud of this achievement and the person Kuso is both on and off the field.

Congratulations, Kuso, on 150 Premier games. Here's to many more!
