THE starting No. 8 position at the Brumbies in 2018 is there for Isi Naisarani to grab with both hands after he agreed to a one-year deal in Canberra on Tuesday. The Fijian-born Naisarani is an imposing figure at 1.95m and 110kg and only a fortnight ago starred for his the Perth Spiriti in their NRC clash against the Canberra Vikings, impressing with his blocking runs, strong carries and offloads. Naisarani’s senior career began with Brisbane City in the NRC where he played seven matches and crossed for five tries in what was a standout year for the youngster, before being contracted to the Western Force for the 2017 Super Rugby season. He enjoyed an excellent Super Rugby debut campaign in 2017, claiming the Nathan Sharpe Medal as their Player of the Year in the west. Isi is the first player to win that award in their first season of professional rugby, compiling some impressive statistics along the way with 126 runs, 662 run metres, 22 tackle busts and 108 tackles.
