The 122kg cousin of Lote Tuqiri is shaping as a savior of the depleted Waratahs backline in next season's Super 14.

As NSW officials scour the globe to fill holes in the three-quarter line left by the sudden departures of Tuqiri and Timana Tahu, a likely solution is on their doorstep.

Winger Ratu Nasiganiyavi is ready, judging by his red-hot form with Randwick.

The 21-year-old, who is contracted to the Waratahs, has powered his way over for 14 tries in eight games for the Galloping Greens.

In last Saturday's win over Gordon, Nasiganiyavi steamrolled several rivals to score the first of his two tries.

Nasiganiyavi's talent was recognised when selected in the Barbarians squad, playing 35 minutes against England at Twickenham last month.

Waratahs coach Chris Hickey said Nasiganiyavi was a player with great potential who had impressed with his work ethic.
