In the Sheds | Tomasi Alosio
from Code with Kingi Hosted by Jordan King
Jordan sits down with Manu Samoa representative, Tomasi Alosio. The outside back talks through how Moana Pasifika have navigated through the chaos caused by covid and what it means to represent his people on a weekly basis (2:27) before taking it back to where it all started with his rugby dream (8:34). The self-proclaimed late bloomer was transparent on why he took longer than others to get a crack in the big leagues and how important a positive mindset is once you get your foot in the door (15:34). Like many, Alosio’s primary source of income was taken away by the pandemic (30:59), but his persistence through tough times led him down the unlikely path of helping his motherland qualify for the 2023 Rugby World Cup (35:11). He then wraps things up with what his game-day routine entails and pulls no punches for “Ten in the Bin” (47:52). If you enjoy this yarn, then I'd appreciate if you leave the podcast a review! Also, be sure to go back through some of my older interviews with current and former players as well as checking out the Instagram page for more content - @_codewithkingi.
