The last time this happened was in 1998, with the Rush siblings. Wallace called it “crazy” they’re wearing the same jersey number and praised his sister’s rapid rise, while Amarante described the experience as surreal and a privilege. Their father, former Samoan captain Semo Sititi, flew to South Africa to watch them both, reminding them to just play their game and be themselves. It’s a historic moment for the Sititi family, showcasing their talent, dedication, and the power of sibling support.
