Rugby Union

He scored 13 tries during the 2013 Shute Shield season, this brought him to the attention of the Шаблон:Rut who named him in their wider training group for the 2014 Super Rugby season. Alofa made his first appearance in week 1 of the campaign and marked his debut with a try in a 43-21 win over the WesternШаблон:Rut in Sydney.[3][4]
