Toni Naufahu Pulu (born 28 November 1989) is an American-born, rugby union player who currently plays as a winger for Template:Rut Counties Manukau in the ITM Cup.[1][2][3] In 2011 he played for Niue at the Gold Coast 7s.
Career
Pulu began his professional career in New Zealand playing for the Counties Manukau Steelers in the 2012 ITM Cup. He immediately became a regular starter on the wing for the men from Pukekohe and his impressive performances helped them become established in the ITM Cup Premiership Division.
2015
The Template:Rut Chiefs named him in their Wider Training Group for the 2015 Super Rugby season.[4][5]
2016
Still in the Wider Training Group, Pulu made his debut for the Chiefs in the 53-10 win over the Western Force at FMG Stadium Waikato on 27 March 2016. Part of a very inexperienced bench for this game, Pulu was called in due to the number of injuries the Chiefs had received in the 2016 season. He scored a try in this appearance.
