Telusa Veainu (born 26 December 1990 in Kawakawa, New Zealand) is a rugby union player who currently plays for Canterbury in the ITM Cup and for the Rebels in the Super Rugby competition. He plays on the wings or at centre.

Playing career

Provincial Rugby

Veainu went to St Andrew's College in Christchurch where in his final year of school he was made captain of the 1st XV. He was a regular in Canterbury age group sides over the years, making the under 16's, 18's and 19's whilst still at school. Veainu was a star on the wing for the NZ U-20s at the World Cup in Argentina where he scored five tries (including three in the final).

Selected to the Canterbury squad for the 2010 ITM Cup, Veainu made his debut off the bench against Hawke's Bay and subsequently started in every match, scoring eight tries as Canterbury won the championship. Playing with Canterbury again for the 2011 ITM Cup, Veainu scored a further 5 tries in 11 games, in the process helping Canterbury win their fourth consecutive title.

Super Rugby

After a solid ITM Cup season in 2010, Veainu received a contract to play for the Highlanders for the 2011 Super Rugby season. He made his debut in the Highlanders win over the Bulls in week 3 of the competition. His ankle injury limited his playing time.^{[citation needed]}

On 17 September 2013, Veainu signed with the Melbourne Rebels for the 2014^[1] and 2015 seasons.
