I was aware Veainu is very close with Sopoaga from their time at the Highlanders when they were younger, who's the other one though just out of interest?

TV would be a huge loss.

It was rumoured (though of course length of deal was not officially announced) that TV signed a three year deal so that would leave two years for Wasps to buy out if true.

Cheers, RB. Very true about players being mischievous on social media. It's a rumour popping up on a few forums though.

It would be a good way for Wasps to bounce back from recent negative transfer news if they brought in Naholo and Veainu to go with Fekitoa.

The tweet about this is from someone who has only ever made 11 tweets in 2 years; is based in New Zealand; and calls himself 'Anonymo83845710'. In other words - a troll.

True true. Just speculating during a slow week in the midst of silly season!

Any idea if Eastmond is in contract for next season, RB?

I'm not on twitter but read on another forum that it was a tweet sent to Fissler, which Fissler has ignored but TV liked? Of course that fan may have got the rumour from the tweet you mention above though.

The original tweet from Anonymo83845710 was "Hearing Telusa Veainu is on the move next season - #Bath #Wasps #Worcester ?????"

Hardly authoritative.

I thought his best friend was Manu and he has moved to Nether Broughton so that he and his missus can be closer to Manu and his fiancee

Manu is out of contract too... with the sheer volume heading out of Wasps.. Fekitoa and Manu in the centres with Sopoaga at fly half and Veaniu at FB... owtch.

A lot of those who are leaving seems to be upset with the training facilities - the new facilities are some way off and have not yet received planning permission.

I would be really shocked if Manu and Veainu weren’t in Tigers shirts next season. They both seemed settled at the club and are on good wages!
