Ofa Tuʻungafasi

[2][3] Tuʻungafasi represented New Zealand Under 20 in the 2012 IRB Junior World Championship in South Africa making 5 appearances and scoring 1 try.

This saw Tuʻungafasi score his first try for the All Blacks in the record 57–0 win over South Africa in the 2017 Rugby Championship and make headlines for bone crushing tackles on Wallabies first five Bernard Foley and replacement lock Lukhan Tui in the third Bledisloe Cup test of 2017, but it was lost 23-18 after Tuʻungafasi conceded a penalty for illegally taking out a Wallaby with three minutes left.

Tuʻungafasi became a regular starter for the Blues in the 2018 Super Rugby season, replacing the departed Charlie Faumuina as the first choice tighthead prop.

[5] After the Blues had a disappointing Super Rugby season, Tuʻungafasi was retained by the All Blacks for the three test series against France in 2018.

Tuʻungafasi was one of only three Blues players selected, alongside backs Rieko Ioane and Sonny Bill Williams.

[5] Well established in the Blues, as well as the All Blacks setups, Tuʻungafasi played in four of New Zealand's five warm up tests prior to the World Cup, missing a record 26–47 defeat to Australia during the 2019 Rugby Championship, with rookie, Atu Moli, having earned a recall.

[6] On 28 August, All Blacks Head Coach, Steve Hansen, named Tuʻungafasi as one of 31 players in New Zealand's squad for the 2019 Rugby World Cup.

Tuʻungafasi had a stellar season with the Blues in Super Rugby Aotearoa, earning him a starting place in all four Bledisloe Cup tests against the Wallabies at the end of the year.
