This week I am joined by Japanese royalty Lomano Lemek! The Japanese rugby legend who has been to the Olympics with the Japanese 7s side who finished 4th, He’s been to 2 RWC’s and has recently signed with Honda Heat again to take him through to 19 years playing professionally in Japan. From a young age Mano wanted to be a professional rugby player and being in the 1st XV at the age of just 14 made that a really realistic dream. However, after that season he failed to make any rep teams which really tested his commitment and perseverance of that dream a pretty random opportunity came up for him to play in Japan with the Canon Eagles.
Some parts that stood out for me in this one were…
- The exciting launch of his new App P2P to help players and teams make contracting easier
- We hear about his humble upbringing and his early focus to make rugby a career
- How a random opportunity at the Canon Eagles at 19 years old changed his life
- His decision to play Japan 7’s and experience the first Olympics with 7s involved
- How he found his time at the Sunwolves and playing Super Rugby
- Experiencing 2 RWC and the different challenges that were involved leading up to those tournaments
- Some classic Jamie Joesph yarn Plenty of stories from his Top league career
- And he’s more!
As you’ll hear Lemano has had some career and deserves every single yen he has earns and he is a massive lad who gives an awesome insight into rugby in Japan. If you enjoy this episode please give it a share so I can continue to bring you great guests like this.
