Lui was born and raised in Moata'a, the same village as former All Blacks star Michael Jones and many other famous Samoan rugby players, such as Taufusi Salesa, Lolani Koko, and Alefaio Vaisuai.

Lui first made an appearance in national colours in the National Under 18 World Rugby Championship held in Chile in 1999. He also represented Manu Samoa at the 2007 Rugby World Cup.

A sevens specialist, Lui made his name on the sevens circuit and was a surprise selection ahead of Tanner Vili. However, he was not given much chance in the competition as Eliota Fuimaono was preferred out of position at fly half against pool A giants England and South Africa, and the reliable presence of Loki Crichton was thought to be needed to provide wins against Tonga and the USA. He plays his club rugby for Samoan side Moata'a apart from a six-month stint with the Leonessa Rugby Club in Italy in 2006.

gollark: We had Cambridge Analytica and a gazillion random other things, and yet people probably just go "hmm, this sounds slightly bad, but abstract and not really relevant to me, and besides all my friends are here" and completely ignore it!
gollark: It'll probably take a giant scandal ("Facebook is stealing your credit card information and using it to buy random people illegal drugs!") to make people consider moving, and you know what? They probably won't!
gollark: Though they're still reachable by SMS, I can't participate in their group chats or whatever, and I probably can't convince them to use Signal.
gollark: I already have a bit of trouble communicating with some friends because they're on WhatsApp.
gollark: I mean, so far, I'm trying to avoid cloud stuff by running most of my services locally, but I have to interact with cloudy stuff to actually communicate with people, and regardless of what I do there'll be all kinds of shadowy data mining going on.
