Career

[edit]

At club level, Manu played in the National Provincial Championship initially in 1993 for Marlborough, and later in 1996 and 1997 for Taranaki.[1] At international level, he was first capped for Tonga on 13 July 1996 against Samoa, in Apia. He was also part of the 1999 Rugby World Cup Tonga squad, but did not play any match in the tournament due to his dismissal in the repechage stage against Korea.[2] His last cap for Tonga was on 15 May 1999, against United States in San Francisco.[3]
