World rugby star Christian Lealiifano in remission six months after shock leukemia diagnosis

News of the 29-year-old’s diagnosis broke last August and the rugby world rallied around the playmaker, who has represented his country on 19 occasions. “The doctors said the transplant was a success and everything is looking good in there and the cancer isn’t showing up so I’m in remission at the moment but there is still a way to go,” he told the Sydney Morning Herald.
