Chris Hala'ufia (born 24 October 1978 in Neiafu, Tonga) is a back row forward who plays rugby union football for English club London Irish in the Guinness Premiership and Tonga. He is well known for his ability to break tackles. Hala'ufia originally made a name for himself with Bradford and Bingley RFC, when he made his début in the English game in the 2003-4 season. At that time Bradford and Bingley were in North 1, but ran away with the league title, with Hala'uifa contributing 27 tries during the campaign. The club also won the Intermediate Cup at Twickenham in April 2004, Hala'uifa's final game for the club before moving on to Italy for the 2004/5 season.
Hala'ufia returned to England to play for Rotherham Titans in the 2005/6 season before moving to Harlequins for 2006–2008.
He moved onto London Irish for the 2008–09 season, where he appeared in 31 out of 34 games and helped take them to the Guinness Premiership Final against Leicester Tigers.
