Lome Fa'atau (born 23 October 1975 in
Wellington,
New Zealand) is a
rugby union player. He currently plays for the
Rugby Nice Côte d'Azur in the French
Fédérale 1. The speedy
winger is recognisable by his traditional Samoan tattoo (pe'a). Before his rugby career took off, he attended St. Patrick's College in Wellington, where he was a star
basketball player for his college team. It was not until he left college did he begin playing
rugby union for the local club Marist St. Pat's, where he made his debut in the third grade division at fullback.
