Sean Romans (born July 27, 1985 in Christchurch, New Zealand) is a rugby union player who plays at scrum-half for the Highlanders in Super 14 and Otago in the ITM Cup.
Playing career
Provincial Rugby
Romans made his debut for Otago in the 2007 Air New Zealand Cup and emerged as a regular for 2008. For the 2009 Air New Zealand Cup, Romans was named vice-captain of the squad.
Romans is a second-generation member of the Otago side, following in the footsteps of his father Mark.
Super Rugby
On the back of his showings for Otago in the Air New Zealand Cup, Romans earned a contract with the Highlanders for the 2009 Super 14 season to serve as the backup to team captain and All-Black Jimmy Cowan.
Romans received the opportunity to start two games early in the 2009 season when Cowan was injured, but has since struggled to find playing time, earning only 1 further start in the 2010 season along with a handful of late-game substitute appearances.
International Play
Romans was selected to the Junior All Blacks for the 2009 IRB Pacific Nations Cup, where he came on as a substitute against Samoa and started in a 52-21 victory over Japan.
