Toʻo Vaega (born 17 August 1965) is a retired professional rugby union footballer, best known for his long career with the Samoan national team.
Vaega made his debut for Samoa against Wales on 14 June 1986, starting one of the longest international careers in modern rugby union history.
Vaega starred for Samoa in three World Cups, but is most remembered for scoring a critical try in Samoa's historic 16–13 victory over Wales in Cardiff during the 1991 Rugby World Cup.
Outside of his duties with the Samoan national team, Vaega enjoyed a long club career in New Zealand, most notably with Southland and the Highlanders in the mid-1990s.
Vaega's son Cardiff Vaega, named for the site of Samoa's victory over Wales in 1991,[2] is currently playing for Counties Manukau in the Mitre 10 Cup competition.
