Duane Aholelei receiving the national shirt of Tonga – 8th November 2024
Dubai Exiles‘ prop, Duane Aholelei, has been named in the Tonga match day squad that takes on Romania in the Arcul de Triumph Stadium in Bucharest this evening. Kick off at 8pm UAE time.
The former Rugby Atlanta and Pro 14 Clermont Auvergne prop has had a big impact, both on and off the field, since joining the Dubai Exiles in the summer.
As well as being a formidable scrummager, Duane is one of the Exiles‘ bigger ball carriers who has scored a try in both of his West Asia Super Rugby appearances this UAE rugby season.
When Duane isn’t busy causing all sorts of problems for the opposition in the West Asia and UAE Premierships he’s on the pitches at The Sevens Stadium, on a Thursday evening and Saturday morning, coaching the Exiles‘ Under 11s.
The very best of luck Duane – now we just need a to find a stream to watch tonight’s game!
