Greg Fisilau

Greg Fisilau (born 9 July 2003) is an English professional rugby union player who plays as a back row for Premiership Rugby club Exeter Chiefs.

Early and personal life
Fisilau was brought up in Plymouth, the son of former Plymouth Albion centre and Tongan international Kenni Fisilau and his wife, Camilla. He started playing rugby union for Devonport Services in his hometown at U8 level. He has brothers called Makobilly and David, and two sisters named Lisia and Malieta.

Club career
Fisilau came through the academy at Wasps RFC, and also played on loan for Birmingham Moseley Rugby, making his debut against Plymouth Albion at The Brickfields. He also played on loan for Ampthill RUFC in the Rugby Championship.

Fisilau joined Exeter Chiefs in November 2022 upon the dissolution of Wasps for financial reasons. Exeter had a long standing interest in the player and coach Rob Baxter suggested they would have made an approach to him even if Wasps had not suffered the financial demise. He was said to have an “assured start” to his career at Exeter, and became a regular in the Chiefs first team in the 2023-24 season. He was nominated for the Premiership Rugby Player of the Month for October 2023.

International career
Fisilau represented England U20 making his debut in the opening round of the 2022 Six Nations Under 20s Championship against Scotland. He was also a member of the squad that finished fourth at the 2023 World Rugby U20 Championship. In February 2024 Fisilau scored a try for England A in a victory over Portugal. In May 2024, he was called up by Steve Borthwick to an England senior team training squad.
