Lote Daulako Tuqiri (born 23 September 1979) is a Fijian-Australian former professional dual-code rugby footballer who last played for the South Sydney Rabbitohs in the NRL.
He represented Australia in both rugby league and rugby union, and Fiji in rugby league.
He usually played as a winger in both codes.
Tuqiri first rose to prominence as a professional rugby league footballer for the Brisbane Broncos and Queensland Maroons, as well as the Fiji and Australia national sides.
He was therefore a high-profile signing for rugby union in 2002, winning 67 caps for Australia and being a part of their 2003 and 2007 World Cup squads.
He played rugby union for the Waratahs in the Super 14 and Leicester Tigers in England in season 2009–10.
Tuqiri's contract with the Australian Rugby Union was terminated on 1 July 2009.
No immediate reason was given, and Tuqiri returned to rugby league in 2010, playing for the Wests Tigers of the NRL.
In September 2013, he signed a short-term contract with Irish rugby union giants, Leinster to play in the Pro12 in a three-month deal.
Just 6 weeks out from the 2014 NRL season, Tuqiri signed with his third NRL club, the South Sydney Rabbitohs on a one-year deal.
