Career
He is the brother of Australian international second-row Will Skelton and represented the Samoa national under-20 team at the 2014 Junior World Rugby Championship. Born in New Zealand, he moved with his family to Australia at the age of 7. He was signed by the Waikato Chiefs in the Summer of 2014.
He is noted for his immense size, and at 207 cm (6 ft 9 ½ in) in height, and 153 kg (24 st 2 lb, 338 lb) in weight, he is both taller and heavier than older brother Will.
He wears a size 17 (United Kingdom) boot. He is seen as a great prospect for the future of Australian, New Zealand or Samoan rugby (he is eligible to play for all three nations), if he can maximise his huge potential.
