After helping Fiji win the gold medal at the Olympics in 2016, Mata signed a two-year deal with Pro12 team Edinburgh. However, because he had not yet received an international call-up for Fiji and visas for players who had not received such a call-up from a Kolpak nation were only valid for a year, Mata was forced to return to his native country of Fiji to receive such a call-up for the Fiji 15s team.

On June 10, whilst playing off the bench, he made his test debut against Australia. He was able to submit a visa application to extend his visa to Scotland because he participated in three additional tests for Fiji as a substitute.
