'One jersey I wanted': Koloamatangi takes big step towards childhood dream

Keaon Koloamatangi has expressed that his childhood dream motivated him to switch his representative allegiance from Tonga to Australia. The Rabbitohs player, who has previously represented Tonga, has chosen to pursue a position in the Australian side for the upcoming Ashes series.

With his recent inclusion in the Kangaroos squad, Koloamatangi is now closer to reaching his aspiration. This decision stands in contrast to a growing trend where NRL players commit to playing for their countries of heritage. Nevertheless, Koloamatangi emphasized that his dream has always been to don the green and gold jersey while growing up in Sydney's Inner West.
