He plays at [fly-half](/source/Fly-half_(rugby_union)). He is a nephew of [All Blacks](/source/All_Blacks) centre [Walter Little](/source/Walter_Little_(rugby_union)), but represents Fiji at international level. ## Career He has scored 652 points for Fiji and is the Pacific region's highest [point scorer](/source/List_of_leading_Rugby_union_Test_point_scorers). He previously played for [Canterbury](/source/Canterbury_Rugby_Football_Union) and [North Harbour](/source/North_Harbour_Rugby_Union) in New Zealand provincial rugby, before moving to England where he played for the [Sale Sharks](/source/Sale_Sharks) in late 1999. He signed with [Dax](/source/US_Dax) in France, but soon moved to [Pontypridd](/source/Pontypridd_RFC), before signing with the [Saracens](/source/Saracens_F.C.). Little made his test debut for [Fiji](/source/Fiji_national_rugby_union_team) in 1996 in a match against the [Springboks](/source/South_Africa_national_rugby_union_team) in [Pretoria](/source/Pretoria), at just 19 years of age. He finished the 2000 and 2001 Pacific Rim tournaments as the top points scorer. He entered the [2003 Rugby World Cup](/source/2003_Rugby_World_Cup) as Fiji's all-time highest points scorer, with 488 points. He got four [caps](/source/Cap_(sport)) for Fiji at the 2003 World Cup, scoring a total of 45 points in those games. At the 2007 event he starred as Fiji defeated [Wales](/source/Wales) to reach the quarter-finals, but was injured late in the final group game, after straining his medial knee ligaments and missed the quarter-final. On 15 July 2009, it was announced that Little had signed a one-year deal with [Bath](/source/Bath_Rugby), with Head Coach [Steve Meehan](/source/Steve_Meehan) stating that he would be in the squad for the tour to Portugal in late July 2009. On 26 February 2010 it was announced that Little would be playing for [Bristol Rugby](/source/Bristol_Rugby) from the 2010–11 season onwards.[1] But at the end of the 2010/2011 season it was announced that Little would be part of the clearout of players departing Bristol Rugby. At the midpoint of the 2011/12 season, it was announced that Little was joining RFU Championship side Esher RFC. At the start of the 2012/13 season Little became part of a joint venture with [Simon Langton Grammar School for Boys](/source/Simon_Langton_Grammar_School_for_Boys), and [The Canterbury High School](/source/The_Canterbury_High_School). Canterbury's Elite Rugby Player Development Centre, headed by Little, is the first of its kind within the country and its aim is to develop grass roots rugby within the area. ## References 1. **[^](#cite_ref-1)** ["Fijian star Little joins Bristol"](https://web.archive.org/web/20100302033705/http://www.bristolrugby.co.uk/6611.php).
