Career

Born in New Zealand, Tui has made a name for himself in Japanese rugby first of all with the Panasonic Wild Knights and latterly with Suntory Sungoliath whom he joined in 2013.[3] Some strong showings alongside ex-Wallaby international back-row forward George Smith brought him to the attention of Super Rugby franchise, the Queensland Reds and he was contracted to the Brisbane based side for the 2015 Super Rugby season.[4]

International

Tui made his international debut for Japan against Tonga in June 2012 and to date has made 25 appearances for his national side and scored 11 tries.[2][6]
