Onosai Auva'a (born 7 February 1985 in Auckland) is a New Zealand rugby union footballer who has played for the Auckland Blues Super Rugby team and also for Auckland in the ITM Cup.[http://www.theblues.co.nz/Players/139-Onosai-Auvaa.aspx The Blues website – Onosa'i Auva'a] Auva'a has signed for Sale Sharks on a two-month loan contract lasting until February 2012, but an outstanding performance against Leicester Tigers in the Aviva Premiership would appear to further Auva'a's aim of a long-term contract with the Sharks.
Career
At the 2006 Commonwealth Games he was part of the New Zealand Sevens team that won a gold medal.[http://www.commonwealthgames.org.nz/Athletes/AthleteProfile.aspx?Print=&ContactID=28058&id=3780 Profile at the New Zealand Olympic Committee website]
