Manu Samoa at the 2011 Rugby World Cup
.
Playing career

In 8 games he scored 25 points - out of 25 points he scored 8 thanks to a try and two penalties in the Western Samoa's victory in the 1991 Rugby World Cup against Wales.[1] His last match was against Scotland, at Murrayfield, on 18 November 1995.[citation needed]
Manager
During the
Tuala title, he did not fulfill his duties as coach during his stay in New Zealand, treating the campaign in New Zealand like a "holiday" and he often drank.[2]
According to the Samoan fans, Samoa did not pass the pool stage, contrary to the expectations after the victory against Tuilaepa Sailele Malielegaoi demanded to conduct an audit and provide all data on the costs of the Samoan national team during the World Cup.[4] After the dismissal, it was announced that they were looking for a new manager for the national team.[5]
As of March 2018, Vaea has been appointed as CEO of the Samoa Association of Sports and National Olympic Committee.[6]
