    EP #11 | Ajay Faleafaga - Highlander #347

    Ever since we were young, we’ve always known Ajay would be a proper weapon. Ajay has been carving up grades since the under-13s level, and since then, he’s gone from strength to strength. Growing up in South Auckland, Ajay comes from a great family, and like many of us who grew up in SA, he wouldn’t change a thing about his childhood. His family helped push him through different sports, and now he proudly dons professional rugby jerseys. Ajay’s won 1st XV 1A competitions with St Peter’s College, where his team went over to Japan for the SANIX tournament and finished as runners-up. He made New Zealand Schoolboys and New Zealand Barbarians before flying down to Dunedin to continue his professional career. There, he joined the Dunedin Sharks for club footy while also being part of the Highlanders and Otago rugby development systems. From there, he went on to represent New Zealand U19s, the Highlanders U20s, and eventually made his NPC and Highlanders debuts. We’re super proud of the uso and his journey so far, and can’t wait to see what the future holds for him. Make sure you head over to his Instagram @ajay_faleafaga to follow his journey. Like, sub up, and share the love, family. Appreciate ya for tuning in, Ron

    EP #10 | Isaiah Mapusua - Brave Blossoms #711

    Raised in Palmy, later touching down in Wellington, Isaiah "Ice" Mapusua grew up in some of NZ's footy hot spots. Attending renowned rugby powerhouses St. Pat's College and Scots, he was immersed in a culture of rugby. Halfway through Year 10, Isaiah and his family moved to Auckland, the 09. Here he joined King's College. After playing First XV rugby, he took himself south to Dunedin for university. But Ice didn't stay long. A call from Japan opened new doors, and soon he found himself attending the prestigious Keio University. Now, he plays for Toyota Verblitz and recently made his debut for Japan's Brave Blossoms in the 2024 Pacific Cup. More than a friend, Ice has been family for me since the jump. Stoked to have him join us in the little studio. Hit that like button, drop a comment, and subscribe to support the poddy! Keep up with us on socials @hurtlockerpod for the latest posts and updates.

    EP #6 | Feleti Sae-Ta'ufo'ou | Moana Pasifika

    Feleti Sae-Ta'ufo'ou Leading from the front of the pack, the uso has already had himself a journey. Growing up in Palmerston North with an awesome family, he was raised to be great. Hard work has been at the forefront of everything he does from a young age — with a family deeply rooted in sport, helping him every step through his footy journey. Coming through the unreal rugby programme at Palmy Boys’ High (Palmerston North Boys’ High School), Feleti worked his way to higher honours. Where most would have stopped or struggled, he dug deep, kept the dream alive, and climbed the ladder through dedication — first through the Manawatū Turbos academy, then earning a spot in the Hurricanes U20s squad for two years after school, before eventually cracking into the Turbos NPC squad. Now, he's anchoring the front row for Moana Pasifika — in a year where the team isn't just transforming on the field, but sparking a whole movement off it, connecting and inspiring a wider community of supporters. A friend, a son, a brother — Feleti is a man of faith, and that's the true backbone of his life. We're proud to get this episode out to you all. We know you’ll enjoy hearing the big man’s story and message as much as we did. Make sure to like, subscribe, and drop us a comment — all your support means the world to us. We’re grateful for every single one of you and can’t wait to keep growing this journey together. Love, The Hurtlocker Family.
