High School Old Boys lock Luke Romano is in his second season with Canterbury. A member of the Christchurch Boys’ High School first XI, he initially had a promising career as a fast bowler and played senior cricket for Sydenham until injury prevented him from going further. A late rugby developer, Romano played No8 in the third XV at Boys’ High before his career in the 15-man game took off at Old Boys. A qualified builder, Romano was born in Nelson and moved to Christchurch with his family when he was three years old.
