Damon Apanui Kaui (born 23 October 1971) is a New Zealand former professional rugby union player.

A fullback and winger, Kaui represented the New Zealand Development team and New Zealand Colts early in his career, then later earned trials with New Zealand Maori. [1]

Kaui was an experienced player with Bay of Plenty by the time he got picked to play fullback for the Crusaders in the 1996 Super 12 season and scored two tries on his competition debut against the Bulls at Lancaster Park. The following year, Kaui linked up with the Chiefs, where he was used off the bench. [2]

Due to disciplinary reasons, Kaui was dropped by the Bay of Plenty after 1998 and competed briefly with Hawke's Bay, before gaining a recall to the Steamers side in 2003, allowing him to bring up his 100th appearance. [3] [4]
