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]
