LUCA TANI

Luca joined the Rugby Rent Scholarships brotherhood in spring of 2022. The absolute unit of an 8-man is the embodiment of what it means to embrace the RRS spirit. On the pitch, he brings a relentless threat in attack, and simply ruthless ball-in-hand skills, both of which led the team to a XV’s Championship appearance in 2022 and then ultimately hoisting the hardware in spring of 2023. Previous to joining the Denver Barbos, he has played professionally in the MLR for the Austin Gilgronis and featured in the Bermuda 10’s Championship with the Miami Sun.

Off the field, he has honed his problem solving skills, which have translated seamlessly into his career as the handiest handyman you’ll find West of the Mississippi River at Rio Real Estate. His commitment to the community is equally impressive, as he regularly volunteers as a youth rugby coach, inspiring the next generation of players. Luca’s dedication to mentoring new recruits both on and off the field has helped the Denver Barbarian Rugby culture grow since his first Barbo cap in fall of 2021.

Now retired from playing, Luca gives back each month as a Barbo Booster. You can find him on a Saturday morning cheering the lads on and continually Bleeding Green.
