MANUSINA WORLD CUP 2025

Manusina World Cup 2025 an opportunity where I can play Rugby for a Country that chose me and saw my values and skills as a Rugby Player.

I’m 33 and It has been my ultimate goal to play and represent NZ in teams like Hurricanes Poua and NZ Black Ferns. A goal that i’ve had a strong passion for, a goal that i’ve worked tirelessly to achieve but also a goal that has been impossible to achieve despite the commitment, energy and determination i invested but as the saying goes “when the door is closed shut, find a window”. My window was Nina Foaese 💕

In 2023, Nina introduced me to the Manusina team where ive had the honor and privelage to represent in 2023 in South Africa.

Since being apart of Manusina, immediately found a sense of “home”, being apart of a team that see me for the player i am and aspire to be, a team that is founded on FAITH, LOVE and SERVICE.

This team has brought me so much closer to my Samoan heritage i feared i was losing and has only fuelled me more to connect to my samoan roots, to wear the Samoan flag and emblem on my chest and represent my country with pride when going up against high-end teams like England, USA and Australia in August 2025
