Tausani Levale is a Canadian rugby sevens player. She won a gold medal at the 2019 Pan American Games as a member of the Canada women's national rugby sevens team.[1][2] Levale credits her interest in the sport of rugby union in part to her Samoan heritage and the complexity of the sport.[1] Levale plays in both rugby sevens and the 15s.[1] She made her debut with the Canadian national team at the age of 17 in 2017 and was the youngest woman to do so since Caroline Crossley in 2015.[3]
