Rekeiti Ma’asi-White

Rekeiti joined Sale Sharks in November 2022 following the suspension from the Gallagher Premiership of former club Wasps. 

He had made two appearances for Wasps in that season’s Premiership Rugby Cup, starting the opening round fixture against Newcastle and featuring as a replacement in round two against Leicester.  

 The powerful centre was part of the England under 20 squad for 2022 Six Nations. He followed that up with a call-up for the summer series and the following year’s Six Nations and World Cup. 

Ricky, as he’s known at the club, comes from strong rugby stock. His father, Vili, played 36 times for Tonga – including at the 2003 World Cup – while his two brothers have also played professionally: Suva for Coventry and Sonny for Northampton.
