Teani Feleu (born 19 December 2002) is a French rugby union player who plays for FC Grenoble Amazones and the France women's national rugby union team.
Born in Mâcon,[2] she grew up on the Futuna Islands, to Valerie and Nisie, she has three siblings: Niue, Asia and Manaé Feleu. Her parents were the only physical education teachers on her island and they introduced rugby into the school and set up clubs to play matches. In her teenage years she studied in Hawke's Bay, New Zealand at Woodford House.[3]
She has played for FC Grenoble Amazones since 2020.[4] Teani joined the French rugby 7s team for a World Sevens Series and was named in the France women's national rugby union team for the 2023 Women's Six Nations Championship without making her debut.[5]
She maintained her place in the France squad for the 2024 Women's Six Nations Championship.[6] She made her debut in the championship against Scotland. The following week, she made her first start for France against Wales. For Grenoble she typically plays at outside centre, but on debut for France she was played at No 8.[2]
Feleu did dance and karate growing up.[2] She moved to Grenoble in France with her sister Manaé in 2020.[7] Their older brother Niue went on to play for Stade Dijonnais Côte D'Or in Nationale 2.[2]
