Saints linked with AWOL winger
Northampton Saints have been linked with a possible move for rogue Fijian wing Sireli Naqelevuki, who has gone 'absent without leave' after failing to report for training with Western Province.
Naqelevuki has been on duty with Fiji in the IRB Pacific Nations Cup tournament, and was due back in Cape Town to resume his contractual obligations in the Currie Cup.
But the big wing failed to show up in South Africa a fortnight ago, and it is believed he is still in Fiji.
Western Province media spokesman Gavin Lewis said: "We don't really know where he is at this stage. He was meant to be back, but he hasn't arrived."
The Fijian speedster has committed a similar mishap in the past, when he failed to report for duty at Newlands last year after a spell with his national team.
Naqelevuki has recently been linked with a possible move to the Guinness Premiership, with Planet Rugby saying Saints were chasing his signature.
