A remarkable journey, in his own words.
Never in a million years would you have thought this time last year, that Wallaby Christian Lealiifano would be about to finish up a incredible stint with Irish province Ulster.

A move to Ulster then followed, with the Australian becoming an instant hit with the Ravenhill faithful. He’s now getting set to play his final game for the northern province on Sunday, and recently sat down to speak about his incredible journey.
He talks about his childhood, coping with the loss of his father, the challenges he’s faced in his rugby career to date and his successful battle with leukaemia.
