Jason Tomane, the younger brother of ex-Leinster back Joe, is part of Romania’s squad.
IT’S OCTOBER 2018 and Leinster are having their captain’s run before a Champions Cup game against Wasps. They have a visitor.
Qualifying for Romania wasn’t part of the plan when Tomane first pitched up there in 2018, a few months before his visit to Dublin. His journey has been rather unique. “I got a bit homesick and told Joe I wanted to move back home to mum and dad. I was so young, my first time living away from home. I wish I had stayed, to be honest, but I got really homesick. As you get older, it gets easier to leave the nest.”
“It was a big culture shock for me,” says Tomane. “Coming from Australia to Romania, I hated it at the start, to be honest.” “I spoke to Joe about it and he kinda pushed me to stick around and play for a cap. He told me that no one can take away international rugby from me. I’m glad I listened to his advice.”
Tonga natives Fonovai Tangimana and Tevita Manumua and New Zealand-born Hinckley Vaovasa are also part of the Oaks’ squad for the World Cup.
