Title: RP/Fissler Rumour: Fekitoa
Post by: NellyWellyWaspy on April 16, 2017, 12:02:22 PM
Fissler has at last put in print something I guessed about 5 weeks ago. That Malakai Fekitoa is going to sign (or may already have signed) for Wasps to replace Kurtley Beale. Of course, nothing is certain till the ink is dry, but all the indicators are there. I suspect Fekitoa has been in the UK this last week, and will probably be watching (in the ground) the game this afternoon, before signing and then returning for his next Highlanders game next weekend (they had last week and this weekend off). Needs a few eagle eyed Waspies to see if they spot him.

When I put the thought to Neil, he did not directly reply, just said that he knew KB was going before Dai did.

The other rumour Fissler put on Twitter, but not in the RP, was about Juan de Jongh. Not sure that will happen. I don't see the sense of another 12, in addition to what we already have, including Gaby.

I'd be very happy to see Fekitoa in black and gold. It'll be interesting to see if anyone spots him at the game.

Well that would be a very fine signing, and backs up something I heard from an extremely reliable source within the club. No names, but the indication from the source was that the 'fans would be very happy' with KBs replacement. I most certainly am.

The commentator for the Wasps v Briz game also talked about Fekitoa coming.

Yeah I noticed that too.  It's sounding very hopeful.
