With a flamboyant personality Pole brings energy and an exceptional work ethic.

Pole is coming off his best season, starting in all 14 matches for Moana Pasifika in 2024. The young prop has flourished putting up consistent performances every week.

He made his Super Rugby Pacific debut against Moana Pasifika in 2022 where he played a short stint with the Crusaders.
Pole hails from the deep south of Otago and plays for Otago in the Bunnings NPC. He was a highly sought after prospect out of Otago Boys High School where he played for the First XV.

He was named in a star-studded New Zealand Secondary Schools team in 2017. This squad included current Moana Pasifika teammates Sione Havili Talitui and Danny Toala.

All Blacks Tupou Vaa’I, Quinn Tupaea and Tamaiti Williams were also part of that team.

The powerful prop has always been a strong ball runner and defender, continuing to improve his game every season.
