Lolo Lui (born 4 January 1982)[1] is aSamoanrugby union player. He captained theSamoa Sevens team which won the2009–10 IRB Sevens World Series.[2]
Lui was born and raised in Moata'a, the same village as former All Blacks starMichael Jones and many other famous Samoan rugby players, such as Taufusi Salesa,Lolani Koko, andAlefaio Vaisuai.[3]
Lui first made an appearance in national colours in the National Under 18 World Rugby Championship held in Chile in 1999. He also representedManu Samoa at the2007 Rugby World Cup.[4]
A sevens specialist, Lui made his name on the sevens circuit and was a surprise selection ahead ofTanner Vili. However, he was not given much chance in the competition asEliota Fuimaono was preferred out of position at fly half against pool A giantsEngland andSouth Africa, and the reliable presence ofLoki Crichton was thought to be needed to provide wins againstTonga and theUSA. He plays his club rugby for Samoan sideMoata'a apart from a six-month stint with the Leonessa Rugby Club in Italy in 2006.
