Tumua Manu (born 18 April 1993) is a Samoan professional rugby union player who plays as a centre for Top 14 club Pau and the Samoa national team.

Club career

Manu decided to try his chances in New Zealand Rugby in 2015. He played for College Rifles that year but at the end of the season he suffered an ACL injury and spent most of 2016 on the sideline in rehabilitation. He returned to play for the club in 2017 and impressed sufficiently to get a call-up to the Auckland side in the Mitre 10 Cup. Injuries to Sonny Bill Williams and Tamati Tua gave him an opportunity to play for the Blues in Super Rugby 2018 where he scored 3 tries in 4 matches.
