The 24-year-old NZ rugby union player took full advantage of possession and snuck his way through soft Hurricanes defence to put his team back in front and leading at halftime by 14-13.
Another Samoan All Black, Patrick Tuipulotu who is the skipper of the Auckland Blues, led the team into the Hurricanes territory after breaking tackles and cleaning out the Canes at the breakdowns.
Substitute open side flanker Dalton Papali’i injected himself into the game 10 minutes before halftime by forcing a handful of turnovers on defence.
