James So'oialo (born 2 March 1989) was a Samoan rugby union footballer. He formerly played for Northern United and the Samoan rugby union, and usually plays as a fullback. He made his international debut in 2011 when he was part of the Samoan team at the 2011 Rugby World Cup where he played in one match.[1][2] He signed for Irish provincial rugby team Connacht for the 2013/2014 season.[3] On 26 October, after only having arrived in late September, Connacht released So'oialo from his contract on 'compassionate grounds', and he returned to New Zealand.[4] So'oialo now plays for Tawa RFC in Wellington, and for the Wellington Lions.
