Ioane Fitu "John" Afoa (born 16 September 1983) is a New Zealand professional rugby union player.

Afoa was a student at Auckland's Papakura High School, then St. Kentigern College, where he played first XV rugby alongside fellow All Blacks Joe Rokocoko and Jerome Kaino.

On 6 December 2013, Afoa officially joined Gloucester Rugby in the English Aviva Premiership on a four-year contract worth £400,000 per season.

[2][3] On 20 January 2018, it was confirmed that Afoa would leave Gloucester to join local rivals Bristol ahead of the 2018–19 season.

Afoa flew from back from France, where he had been playing, and debuted as the tight head prop for the Crusaders match against the Waratahs.

The same year against Wales, Afoa scored his first test try showing some great running for a prop with a 30-metre dash to the try line.
