Biography edit

Born in Suva, Speight was educated at Suva Grammar School and Queen Victoria School.[1] He is a grandson of former Fiji president Josefa Iloilo and son of former cabinet minister Samisoni Tikoinasau. George Speight, leader of the 2000 Fiji coup, is his uncle. He is the elder brother of Wallabies winger Henry Speight.[2]

Speight was more lightly built than most Fijian wingers, but had considerable pace.[1] He served with the British Army, which is where he played his rugby, before signing a contract in 2013 to play for Bristol.[3]

While representing Combined Services in 2013, Speight scored a hat trick of tries against the Barbarians and two weeks later earned a Fiji call up to play the same opponents at Twickenham, which remained his only Test appearance.[4]
