Tongan scrum-half Siaosi Nai played in Major League Rugby between 2023-2024. He represented the Utah Warriors (2023) and Anthem RC (2024).

A Tongatapu native, Nai represented a Tonga A side for the 2019/20 World Pacific Challenge and at the World Junior Under-20s Trophy in 2019. Nai signed with the Utah Warriors as a late addition for the 2023 season after playing with the Gray Wolves at the 2022 Crossroads Cup, but did not feature in MLR action.

Nai was included on the Anthem RC roster ahead of their inaugural season in 2024, and scored 3 tries in 11 games (5 starts) for Anthem, a partnership between MLR, USA Rugby, and World Rugby, and he earned a Team of the Week selection for his performance in Round 14. He gained over 350m with ball in hand, relatively high for a scrum-half, as Anthem banked a 0-16 record that doesn’t reflect how competitive the young team was on the field most games.
