He has represented Samoa several times, and was in the Pacific Islanders' team which toured Europe in November 2006. His usual position is prop.

"Chess is as chess does" is the Gonzaga school motto and Johnston tries to live this credo every day.

In 2010 he was a replacement for the final as Toulouse won the Heineken Cup.
