Lilo was a member of the New Zealand under 19 team that won the 2004 IRB Under 19 Rugby World Championship in South Africa.

Provincial Rugby
Lilo made his debut for the Wellington Lions in 2005 against Auckland. Lilo's 2007 season was cut short when he sustained a serious knee injury early in Wellington's Air New Zealand Cup 45-3 quarter-final victory over the Southland Stags. The injury forced Lilo to miss the 2008 Super 14 season and he didn't return to rugby until May 2008.

Lilo scored his first points for the Wellington Lions when he crossed the line for a try in the 2008 Air New Zealand Cup 4th round clash with the Counties Manukau Steelers.

Lilo's 2007 Super 14 season was more fruitful as he appeared in ten games for the Hurricanes including five starts. Lilo scored his first try in Super Rugby against the Chiefs, a game the Hurricanes went on to win 39-32.
