Early life
Petaia is of Samoan and Australian descent. He was born in Victoria in 2000, and raised in Brisbane, Queensland.[2]
During his time at Brisbane State High School Petaia spent time playing on the wing for the 2016 1st XV Premiership team and in his final year played fullback.[3] In his final year at the school he was selected in the Australian Schools Rugby Union side that played Fiji and New Zealand.[4] Petaia has cited former Queensland Reds player Will Genia in the 2011 Super Rugby Final as a turning point in his journey in becoming a professional rugby player.[5]
Rugby career
Petaia made his Super Rugby debut on 7 April 2018, round 8, against the Brumbies at GIO Stadium, Canberra. The Queensland Reds lost 45–21.[6][7][8] Petaia scored his first ever try in the Super Rugby and for the Queensland Reds in round 14 against the Hurricanes, losing narrowly, 38–34 in Wellington.[9][10] Petaia's second try came against rivals the New South Wales Waratahs in round 16. The Queensland Reds lost at home – Suncorp Stadium, Brisbane – 41–52.[11]
International career
Australia
Petaia was called up to the Australia squad by coach Michael Cheika in early August 2018, before Bledisloe Test One in Sydney, New South Wales.[12] However, he did not make the final team to play against New Zealand.[13]
Petaia's international debut was during a pool match against Uruguay in the 2019 Rugby World Cup, scoring a try on his second touch.[14] He set up another try before being rested at half time.
