Montanna Wilson Ioane (Samoan pronunciation: [uɑːneɪ]; born 30 October 1994) is an Australian-born Italian professional rugby union player who primarily plays wing for Lyon in the Top 14.

[5] After receiving a scholarship,[6] Monty moved to Brisbane, Queensland to attend Anglican Church Grammar School at age 16.

He stated that the decision to leave his parents in order to attend boarding school was difficult but his uncle Digby Ioane was already based in Brisbane and playing for the Queensland Reds.

[7] After spending time at the Queensland Reds Academy, Ioane moved to France in November 2013 after signing to Stade Français,[8] and was a part of their U21 squad, the Espoirs.

"[7] In 2015, Ioane moved to New Zealand after he was recruited by Dave Rennie, head coach of the Chiefs in Super Rugby, to join their developmental squad.

That year Ioane caught the eye of Antonio Pavanello, the sporting director of Benetton, who was looking to sign a wing for his club.

[26] Ioane described himself as being in his room and "having a low point in [his] life" when he turned to and spoke with his partner Melisa, who was born Muslim, who "started talking about God" leading him to take an interest in studying religion.
