Isaia Toeava (born 15 January 1986 in Moto'otua, Samoa), is a professional rugby union player in New Zealand. He was a shock selection in the All Blacks 2005 end-of-year tour at only 19 years of age and having previously no Super 14 or Provincial experience at all except for one game when he came on as a substitute. His main strengths is his raw speed, step and his ability to cover multiple positions in the backline.
Since then, he has played his first-class rugby mainly at Centre, wing and fullback although he has played first-five in the age groups. He currently plays his provincial rugby for Auckland in the Air New Zealand Cup. He was drafted to the Hurricanes in the 2006 Super 14 season, but was selected to play for the Blues for the 2007 season.
Toeava has also represented New Zealand in the Sevens rugby and New Zealand U-19 where he was named the IRB's Under-19 2005 player of the year.
