Career
His international debut was during a test match against Tonga, at Nuku'alofa, on 28 May 1991. He was part of the 1991 Rugby World Cup roster. His last match was against Scotland, at Murrayfield, on 18 November 1995. During the 2011 Rugby World he was the manager of the Samoa national rugby union team, but his home village fined him 100 pigs for "bad behaviour" as well as treating the campaign in New Zealand like a "holiday".[1] As of March 2018, Vaea has been appointed as CEO of the Samoa Association of Sports and National Olympic Committee[2].
