Allan Alaalatoa (born 28 January 1994) is an Australian rugby union player who plays as a prop for the Template:Rut Brumbies in Super Rugby.[1][2][3]
Career
Alaalatoa hails from a rugby family with father Vili playing for Samoa in the 1991 Rugby World Cup and brother Michael also going on to play professionally with the New South Wales Waratahs.[1] His big break came ahead of the 2014 Super Rugby season when he was named in the Brumbies extended playing squad.[2] He didn't get any game time during the regular season, but surprisingly was given a debut off the replacements bench in the Brumbies 32-30 victory over the Template:Rut Chiefs during the Super Rugby playoffs.[4]

Alaalatoa is in the rare position of having represented his country in 3 consecutive IRB Junior World Championships in 2012, 2013 and 2014.[5]
