Sevens

2007 neck injury
Anesi fractured his neck in the second round Super 14 match against the Wellington Hurricanes at Waikato Stadium on 9 February 2007.[8] A strong tackle from Hurricanes winger Ma'a Nonu resulted in the injury which rules Anesi out for season 2007.[9] Immediate surgery was not required, but he needed to go through a rehabilitation period.[9] Anesi returned in the second season of the Air New Zealand Cup.[10]
2013 Superliga Champions
Anesi now plays for RCM MVT Timișoara and was a member of the premiership winning team of 2013.
