Rugby career

A 6 ft 6 in lock, Peters played a season of New Zealand provincial rugby with Wairarapa Bush in 2006 and was a member of their Meads Cup-winning side. After first playing in France in 2008, Peters competed for various clubs in the country's lower divisions on a contract basis and at the age of 44 won a Fédérale 1 title with Stade Langonnais in 2023.[3]

Peters made five capped appearances for Fiji between 2005 and 2007, debuting off the bench against Samoa in Apia.[4] He was ruled out of contention for the 2007 Rugby World Cup when he ruptured his anterior cruciate ligament.[2]
