An outside back, Vaili has gained most of his Samoa caps in rugby sevens. He won the Impact player award for his performance in the 2019 Singapore Sevens and made two appearances that year with the Samoa XV. His international career has since stalled due to disciplinary issues. Following a six-month rugby ban in 2020 for damaging property, Vaili was stood down the next year from Samoa's High Performance Unit over further off field issues, having fronted court over a domestic violence complaint and a separate instance of assault with a dangerous weapon.[2][3]
