Henry Taefu (born 2 April 1993) is a Samoan professional Rugby Union player. He currently plays for Шаблон:Rut in the Bunnings NPC and Moana Pasifika in the Super Rugby Pacific,[1] having previously played for the Western Force in Australia’s Super Rugby AU. His playing position is inside centre.[2][3][4]
Early / provincial career
Taefu was born in Apia, the capital city of Samoa, but moved to New Zealand with his family at age 9, then to Brisbane in Australia aged 12.[5][6] He attended school at the famed Anglican Church Grammar School in Brisbane and upon graduation joined the Parramatta Eels, a rugby league club based in the suburbs of Sydney. However, in 2012 he moved back to Queensland and joined Queensland Premier Rugby side Sunnybank. He helped the Dragons reach the grand final of the competition in 2014 and was the team's 5th highest point scorer in 2015. His form at this level earned selection for the Шаблон:Rut ahead of the inaugural National Rugby Championship in 2014. He was on the move again in 2015, heading back north to Brisbane to join Шаблон:Rut.[2][3]
Super Rugby career
Taefu’s performances over 2 seasons in the National Rugby Championship saw Super Rugby franchise, the Queensland Reds, come calling in 2016. He debuted in the derby match against the Шаблон:Rut on 27 February and went on to make 4 appearances during the season, netting 4 conversions and one penalty.[2][7] On 17 October 2021, it was announced that Henry signed with the new Super Rugby franchise, Moana Pasifika[8]
International
Taefu was selected as a member of the Australia Under-20 squad which competed in the 2013 IRB Junior World Championship in France. He played 2 matches before succumbing to a shoulder injury which required surgery that in turn uncovered an undiagnosed adrenal gland tumour. He has played for the Manu Samoa since 2017 and played in their 2019 Rugby World Cup Squad. He scored all 19 points in the third pool game against Japan.[2][4] In 2021, he started both 2023 World Cup Qualifiers against Tonga.
