Mosese Luveitasau Yabakitini (born 23 March 1980 in Suva) is a Fijian rugby union footballer. He is a current Fijian international, and is one of the rising stars of the team. He currently plays professional rugby in Wales for Celtic League-side Cardiff Blues since moving from Fijian Club RFC Rosi in the summer of 2006. He plays as a Winger; he is a prolific hard tackler with very good acceleration despite his small stature.
Mosese or "Moji" as he is known was a Fijian 15's tailist in 2002 and 2003. He was Fiji's top scorer in domestic rugby in 2003 after playing 13 out of 16 games for his province. Despite this, his First Cap came in the Pacific Tri-Nations clash against Samoa in July 2005. Since then he has appeared quite regularly for Fiji.
