Fa'auli was born in the Auckland suburb of Ōtāhuhu and attended school at De La Salle College prior to moving to Saint Kentigern College for a rugby scholarship.
He took his first steps in his senior career with his local provincial side, the Counties Manukau Steelers, for whom he made 10 appearances in 2015 before moving south to join the Taranaki Bulls in 2016. 3 tries in 10 appearances in a season which saw the Bulls reach the Premiership semi-finals before going down to Tasman represented a good first season for Taranaki.[4]
Consistent performances over the course of 2 provincial seasons saw him earn his first Super Rugby ahead of the 2017 Super Rugby season when he was signed up by the Hamilton-based franchise, the Chiefs.[1]
Fa'auli was a New Zealand Schools representative in 2013.[5][6]
