West Harbour, AU — West Harbour Rugby Union has announced with deep sadness the passing of club legend Fetaiaki Langi, a towering figure in the club’s history and a beloved member of the wider rugby community.
Fetaiaki Langi was a celebrated Tongan international rugby player and a legendary figure for the West Harbour Rugby Union club.
Langi, a former Tongan international and three‑time Herald Cup champion (1987, 1988, and 1991), is being remembered as one of the greatest players ever to wear the Western Suburbs jersey.
Teammates and long‑time supporters described him not only as an exceptional athlete, but as “an even greater human being”—a man admired for his character, humility, and impact both on and off the field.
In a statement, the club said it “extends its deepest condolences to Fetaiaki’s family and loved ones during this difficult time,” noting that his legacy will continue to inspire future generations of West Harbour players.
A funeral service to honour Fetaiaki Langi’s life will be held Wednesday, March 25 at 11.30am at the North Chapel, Pinegrove Memorial Park.
West Harbour Rugby Union says the community is united in grief, but equally united in celebrating a life that enriched so many and left an unforgettable imprint on the club’s history.
