Bio
1996 Hurricane Inoke Afeaki made a successful Super 12 return to the Hurricanes in 1999 after three seasons playing for the Ricoh Rugby Club in Japan. A highly mobile lock, Afeaki played for the Hurricanes until 2001, before heading back to play in Japan from 2002-2004. In 2007 Afeaki was the only original Hurricane still playing international rugby, playing for Tonga in the World Cup in France. Afeaki followed in the footsteps of his father, Etuate, when he made his test debut for Tonga at the 1995 Rugby World Cup, playing in all three of Tonga's matches at the South African tournament. He went on to captain Tonga at the 2003 World Cup in Australia and in 2004 was part of the Pacific Islands combined team that played a series of matches against New Zealand, Australia and South Africa. Afeaki also played for the Vodafone Wellington Lions from 1993-1996, and from 1998-2001, and was a member of the winning 2000 Wellington NPC team.
