Representative Career
Mann made his debut for Tonga in 1986.
In 1989 he first made the New Zealand national side and from 1989 to 1993 played in 24 consecutive tests, including matches that formed part of the 1989–1992 World Cup. In 1994 he was made captain of the New Zealand side. However, in 1995 he was dropped from the Kiwis and his place was taken by Syd Eru.
As a result Mann switched allegiance back to Tonga and, after captaining New Zealand in 1994, he captained Tonga in both the 1995 and 2000 World Cup.
