About Salesi Ma'afu
Born 1983. Salesi Ma'afu is an Australian rugby union player.
International career Ma'afu's first test cap was in 2010 against Fiji, where he had the unusual challenge of marking his brother, who was also playing on debut. The pair became just the fourth set of brothers to oppose each other in Tests, and the first to achieve this feat when both were on debut. Subsequent tests in 2010 against England, Ireland, and South Africa completed a strong year for the prop.
In 2011 Ma'afu was selected in the Wallabies squad for the Rugby World Cup, in New Zealand.
