Career

He is the elder brother of former Fiji sevens rep, Mika Leawere and Sekove Leawere. He departed for New Zealand in 1996 and has made an excellent name for himself in NPC Division Two with East Coast, making 56 appearances and playing for the NZ Divisional XV against Italy and Ireland. He also played for the Fiji Warriors against the ACT Brumbies in 1997. He played for Nadroga and also represented the Coastal Stallions in the Colonial Cup.

In October 2002, Leawere flew to Fiji to attend the national trials and won selection for the tour to Britain and Ireland, making his Test debut as a replacement against Scotland. He scored his first test try in June 2004 when he twisted and turned his way through the Samoan defense in Suva. He was a member of the Fiji team at the 2003 Rugby World Cup.

In May 2007, he was chosen to be part of Fiji team for the 2007 Pacific Nations Cup and later on co-captained the Fiji team at the 2007 Rugby World Cup. In the 2007 World Cup he scored one of the tries as Fiji defeated Wales to reach their first quarter final in 20 years.[1]

In August 2014, he joined the National Federation Party to contest in the upcoming elections.

gollark: Do you actually understand what I said about the quota thing now by the wæy?
gollark: That's not true. You can know in advance that some things are kind of bad ideas.
gollark: I expect it will end up being yours fairly rapidly.
gollark: Also, I really hope this proxy is *secured* somehow or there will be *problems*.
gollark: I'll try and explain it better then- the quotas at random.org are *presumably* limiting your access to random bits based on your IP - that is, the IP it gets the requests from, not one you specify, that would be silly.- when using your proxy, the requests are coming from the proxy's IP- thus, you should get the quotas from the *same IP* you're contacting random.org from- in the case of your `curl` thing it works, as you're requesting the quota for the same IP you send requests from- this will not be the case if you attempt to fetch the quota for your computer's real IP when it's accessing random.org through the proxy
