Starting his career at Manawatu and then Taranaki Mafi earned a NZ 7's call up during the 2005/2006 season.
Following that he made a move to Europe where he joined Munster and went on to represent them over 140 times.
After his time at Thomond Park he moved to France and represented Perpignan 150 times before returning back to New Zealand to play Mitre 10 Cup at the age of 36.
