Pingi Tala'apitaga (born 24 February 1987) is a Samoan rugby union player who currently plays as a prop for Bay of Plenty in the ITM Cup[2][3][4] and the Highlanders in Super Rugby.[5][6]
Career
Tala'apitaga debuted for the Bay of Plenty Steamers during the 2011 ITM Cup, however it wasn't until the 2013 season that he really began to establish himself as a regular member of the side.[3] 2014 was a poor year for the Steamers as they finished bottom of the ITM Cup Championship with only 2 wins from 10 games, however Tala'apitaga had a good campaign personally and was rewarded with a Super Rugby contract when the Dunedin-based Highlanders signed him up for the 2015 season.[6]
