International
[edit]Born in Samoa, but raised in New Zealand, Foe has represented the land of his birth at numerous levels including; under 20, sevens and Samoa A.[citation needed]
He first made the Samoa senior national team in 2016, debuting in the number 7 jersey in a 26–16 defeat against Fiji in Suva. He went on to earn a second cap a week later in a victory over Tonga and later in the year was named in the Samoa squad for the 2016 end-of-year rugby union internationals.[3][4]
