Career
Born in Auckland to Samoan parents, Iopu-Aso had to leave his home province due to a lack of opportunities and decided to set up home in New Plymouth. He worked part-time putting up marquees and also as a truck driver while he played locally for Spotswood United. He made an instant impact during a highly impressive campaign for Taranaki and as a reward he was named in the Hurricanes squad for the 2015 Super Rugby season.
International Iopu-Aso was a New Zealand sevens representative in 2012.
