Tumatauenga Palatiso Umaga-Marshall (born 3 March 1983) is a New Zealand former professional rugby union player and semi-professional basketball player.
Raised in Wainuiomata, Lower Hutt, Umaga-Marshall is a nephew of All Black Tana Umaga and cousin of rugby league player Benji Marshall. He is of Samoan heritage and attended Hutt Valley High School.[1]
Umaga-Marshall played limited rugby union growing up, with basketball being his focus. He played basketball as a point guard for the Waikato Titans and Nelson Giants in the National Basketball League (NBL).[2]
Primarily a winger, Umaga-Marshall transitioned to rugby union via sevens and made his international debut for New Zealand at the 2006 Hong Kong Sevens.[3] He began playing provincial rugby for Wellington in 2008, the season the province ended a 26-year Ranfurly Shield title drought.[4] After crossing to Canterbury in 2009, Umaga-Marshall was occasionally called up by the Crusaders, making two Super 14 appearances.[5]
Umaga-Marshall turned down a contract offer to return to the NBL with the Wellington Saints in 2012, instead playing two seasons of Japanese professional rugby at Coca-Cola Red Sparks.[6]
