Flying Fijians veteran Campese Ma’afu has been a staple for the national side over the past decade. He made his international debut in 2010, coincidentally on the same night his brother Salesi made his debut for Australia. It was the first time two brothers made their international debuts on opposing sides.

Fiji fans watched Ma’afu grow as a player over the years into one of Fiji’s greatest ever front rowers. Rakaviti had him as the top front rower from the decade 2010-2019.

He has played in three World Cups (2011,2015,2019) and retired from international rugby at the conclusion of the 2019 tournament with 62 caps to his name, 4th on the all time caps list.

He finished his career playing for the Barbarians invitational side. His played the first match off the bench against Fiji.

Ma’afu’s father is from Kolovai, Tonga while his mother hails from Tavuki, Kadavu.
