Joel Rapana has turned from a mission for God to being on a mission to scoring tries for the Emirates Western Force in the 2010 Super 14 season.After moving from New Zealand to Queensland, Rapana was a hot rugby league property during his junior career, but went into the family business instead of playing in the National Rugby League straight out of school.
That family business brought the devout Mormon to the regional communities of Western Australia where he worked to serve the mission for his church, the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter Day Saints.
