He started his professional career playing for the Auckland Rugby Union in 2015,[1] and was first selected for the Samoan national rugby union team in 2016.
He joined the Doncaster Knights in 2019,[1][5] and was selected for the Samoa national squad ahead of the 2019 World Rugby Pacific Nations Cup.[1]
He is one of the best defensive scrum halves in our game. Highlights of huge tackles on Adam Coleman to name a few. Also we understand he has played international rugby while working a full-time job. Not heard of in the professional era.
