Tomás Leonardi (born 7 January 1987 in Buenos Aires, Argentina) is an Argentine rugby union footballer. He is currently unattached to a club.

Club Rugby

A player for S.I.C. in Argentina, he also was included in the Argentinian high performance squad, the Template:Rut Pampas XV to play in the South African Vodacom Cup competitions in 2010, 2011 and 2012.

He joined the South African team Template:Rut Southern Kings for the 2013 Super Rugby season.[1] However, he made just one single substitute appearance, coming on as a 58th-minute substitute against the Template:Rut Chiefs.[2]

He was initially named in their touring squad to Australasia for games against Template:Rut Crusaders, Template:Rut Hurricanes, Template:Rut Brumbies and Template:Rut Rebels,[3] but were then recalled[4] after the Kings fielded more than the allowed two foreigner players in their match against the Template:Rut Chiefs.[5] He did, however, make four appearances for the Template:Rut Eastern Province Kings in the domestic 2013 Vodacom Cup tournament, with injury preventing him making more appearances.

He left the Kings in July 2013[6] and, after a few appearances for former side S.I.C. in the Torneo de la URBA in Argentina, he moved to Scotland to join Edinburgh Rugby.[7]

Leonardi was signed for the new Japanese Super Rugby team Sunwolves for the 2016 season but was later announced in the Leicester Tigers European cup squad in October 2016 as a temporary injury replacement for Mike Williams.[8] Leonardi played part of the Anglo-Welsh Cup game against Bath in November 2016.[9] Leonardi wasn't announced in the squad for the rest of the 2016/17 season. As of May 2017, Leonardi isn't recognised in the Tigers' squad list.[10]

International

He made his debut for Argentina in November 2008 against Chile.[11] In May 2010, he was selected in a squad of over 40 players to represent Argentina in the two-test Summer tour of Europe. He has been a regular international for Argentina ever since.
