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.
