He made his debut for the Brumbies in the 2008 Super 14 season,[1] at aged 18. He spent three seasons with the Brumbies.[3] In October 2010 he signed to the Melbourne Rebels and became the Rebels 32nd squad member.[2][4] Playing in a trial, in preparation for the 2011 Super Rugby season in a pre-season match against Tonga at Olympic Park, Taumoepeau scored a try and earned the honour of scoring the Rebels' first ever pre-season points.[3]
He is not the only one involved with rugby in his family, he has an older brother, Pauliasi Taumoepeau, who captained both the St Joseph's College 1st XV and Australian Schoolboys and now plays for Eastern Suburbs Rugby Union.[citation needed]
