Tom Roncaioli
Rugby is great. The players don't wear helmets or padding; they just beat the living daylights out of each other and then go for a beer. I love that.

Bio: Ronco is one of the only 2nd row/wing combos ever to play the game of rugby. Once rated the fastest man for 5 meters, Tom was always a team player. Everything was going great for Tom until one day in February 2005, when he just didn't feel right when he landed on the trip to Ireland. Tom was born with Polycystic Kidney Disease, a genetic disease that shows up in adulthood. It's been a condition that has affected many of his family members. Tom needed a kidney and teammate Mike Kosilla stepped up and gave him one. 20 odd other Grey were also tested. It shows you how much we love this guy, not only as a teammate, but as a friend. Tom repays the Grey every week with his friendship and support. While he can now longer play the game he loves, Tom manages to make it to virtually every game, home or away. While Tom can no longer join us on the pitch, his dedication to the Grey and the game of rugby inspires us all.
