Leo Halavatau (born 21 November 1983 in Tonga) is a rugby union player currently unattached.
Leo joined the Sunbry-based Aviva Premiership outfit from the former Championship side Birmingham & Solihull for the start of the 2011/12 season. He made his debut for the club, coming off the bench to replace Faan Rautenbach in the London Double Header fixture against Harlequins at the start of that season, before earning his first start the following week against Sale Sharks. Leo went on to make 11 appearances for the club in his first season, and November 2012 signed a 3-year contract extension, keeping him at the club until the end of the 2015/16 season.[1]
With injuries to fellow tightheads during the 2013/14 season Halavatau has featured in all but one of the exiles matchday squads, earning plaudits for both his workate around the park and his scrumaging. Leo has had experiences with playing back row.
