Va'aiga Lealuga Tuigamala was born on 4 September 1969, in Faleasiu, Samoa.
Tuigamala made his debut for Western Samoa in 1996 and later represented New Zealand in rugby union as a winger from 1989, playing his first test match against the USA in 1991, and becoming widely known as Inga the Winger before switching to rugby league in 1993.
As an All Black, he was known as a powerful runner, physically much larger than most typical wings, and played in 19 tests (scoring 5 tries) and 20 non-international matches (scoring 9 tries).
In the 2008 Queen’s Birthday Honours List, Tuigamala was made a Member of the New Zealand Order of Merit for services to rugby and the community.
