Lealiifano is hoping to reach a significant mark in his recovery from leukaemia in the coming weeks - two years cancer-free.
The 30-year-old was diagnosed with leukaemia in August 2016, undergoing a bone marrow transplant and treatment, before going into remission in January 2017.
He made a remarkable comeback to rugby at the tail end of that 2017 Super Rugby season, before playing back-to-back campaigns with Ireland’s Ulster, the Brumbies in Super Rugby and most recently in the Japanese Top League.
