He still remains the state’s most-capped centre (92 of his caps were earned at centre) and ranks 16th amongst the Waratahs’ all-time try scorers.

ALOFA ALOFA Position: Wing Physical: 185cm/94kg Date of Birth: 12 March 1991 Place of Birth: Auckland, NZL Super Rugby Caps: 0 Super Rugby Points: 0 Super Rugby Debut: – Test Caps: 0 Test Points: 0 Test Debut – Invited to tour Argentina with the New South Wales Barbarians last August, Alofa Alofa’s broken-field running and knack of turning defence into attack along with his ability to cover wing, centre and fullback secured him a contract with the Waratahs for 2014. Born in Auckland, Alofa arrived in Australia as a four-year-old. The youngest of four siblings, he was given the occasional Sunday off by his parents, both Christian Ministers, to pursue his passion for sport. After a short stint in league, Alofa returned to rugby with West Harbour and stormed over for 13 tries in a dynamic debut season. Nicknamed ‘bread,’ the emerging winger is a fan of soul music and he’s a pretty handy musician, playing guitar, bass and drums.
