The strong Samoan winger will not return to the Lions before next season

OnRugby also confirmed Ioane remained in Australia due to personal reasons related to the fact that the family would not be willing to follow him up this season with a move to Veneto. So the situation seems rather delicate and both the player’s attorney and the company’s attorney understand how to do it: in fact, last December 29, Ewan renewed his contract with the Green and-white team until 2025, so it’s still today. Under contract with Benetton and no. They can subscribe to any other formation.
Negotiations are continuing between the two parties, but the maximum reserve is liquidated in relation to the position of the strong Australian winger that equals it with the national team.

Monte Ioan’s first appearance for Italy was on December 5, 2020 in Yanelli against Wales in the Autumn Nations Cup, so the winger played 13 more games by competing in the last six countries (2021 and 2022) during which he scored two goals.
