Super Rugby
[edit]A member of the 2011 wider training group, Manu made his Blues debut in 2011, in a home match against the New South Wales Waratahs. He made two appearances for the side in 2011, and was a full member of the squad for the 2012 season. After making only three appearances in the 2012 season, he was delisted by new Blues coach Sir John Kirwan and signed a two-year deal with the Melbourne Rebels for the 2013 and 2014 seasons. However, after failing a pre-season medical examination, his contract for the 2013 season was terminated. The Hamilton-based Chiefs subsequently picked up Manu in early 2013 as a replacement prop for the injured Josh Hohneck. In 2013, he signed a contract extension with the Chiefs until 2016. Manu rejoined his former team, the Blues, in 2017. He scored the franchise's first try against the Rebels in an 18–56 victory in Melbourne[2]
For the 2022 Super Rugby Season Pauliasi is an assistant coach of Moana Pasifika.

Well, that’s interesting to know that Psilotum nudum are known as whisk ferns. Psilotum nudum is the commoner species of the two. While the P. flaccidum is a rare species and is found in the tropical islands. Both the species are usually epiphytic in habit and grow upon tree ferns. These species may also be terrestrial and grow in humus or in the crevices of the rocks.
