Adam Coleman (born 7 October 1991) is a professional rugby union player who plays as a lock for Top 14 club Bordeaux Bègles. Born in Australia, he represents Tonga at international level after qualifying on ancestry grounds.[1][2]

Club career

Coleman attended New Town High School in Hobart Tasmania. He represented Tasmania in under 14s, 16s, and 18s. Coleman played under 18s at the national championships and was then selected in the combined states team that lost to Queensland in the final of the division one championship. Coleman was spotted by the ACT Brumbies academy and moved to Canberra in 2010. In 2011, Coleman was selected in the national academy and moved to Sydney to sign with Shute Shield team Parramatta Two Blues.

Coleman earned his big break in senior rugby during the 2013 Super Rugby season when he was called up to the Шаблон:Rut squad for their match against the Шаблон:Rut. The encounter took place during the 2013 British & Irish Lions tour to Australia and the Watatahs were ravaged by international call-ups. Nonetheless, they were able to triumph 28–13 with Coleman debuting as a 70th-minute substitute for Will Skelton.[3]

He made no further appearances that season, and moved west for 2014 and was named as a member of the Force's extended playing squad.[4]

Coleman made his starting debut for the Western Force on Good Friday 18 April 2014 at AAMI Park against the Melbourne Rebels.

International career

In 2016, Coleman was named in the Wallabies preliminary 39-man squad for the 2016 series against England.[5] He made his debut as a replacement in the third test.

Personal life

Coleman is of Tongan descent and is the son of former Tongan rugby captain Pau'u Lolohea-Afeaki and first cousin of former Wallaby Rodney Blake. Coleman is also cousins with former Hurricane Inoke Afeaki who also captained Tonga, New Zealand All Black Ben Afeaki and Australian women's basketball player Eva Afeaki.
