It has been a good year for Joe Tomane with two Tests against the Lions and a Super Rugby Final coming up this weekend. The winger is understandably enjoying his time in Canberra and has just signed a new contract to extend his stay in the capital until the end of the 2015 season.

Coach Jake White is obviously a fan of Tomane. When the South African arrived in Australia to coach the Brumbies, he sought out the 23-year-old winger. Shocked to find that he was essentially unwanted by the NRL’s Gold Coast Titans, White set about getting Tomane a release. Thus far, it has worked out well for both of them ‘If I rewind 18 months ago, Joe was a novice and now he’s got Wallabies experience’ the Brumbies coach said. Now the duo have a couple more years to continue to build on their relationship.
