Fijian-born winger Sefa Naivalu latest Wallaby to head to France
By Online Editors
Wallabies winger Sefa Naivalu has joined Australia's post-World Cup European exodus, with French Top 14 club Stade Francais announcing he has signed a three-year deal.
In an announcement on Twitter, the club welcomed Naivalu.
"The Club is proud to announce the signature of the international winger Sefanaia Naivalu for 3 seasons in the capital! Welcome to Paris Sefa."
The Fiji-born 27-year-old has made 10 appearances for the Wallabies, scoring five tries, but has struggled to hold down a regular spot in Michael Cheika's side since debuting against South Africa in 2016.
Naivalu, who joined the Queensland Reds this year after four seasons with the Melbourne Rebels, joins Nick Phipps, Adam Coleman and Rory Arnold as Wallabies who've announced they'll head to Europe after the World Cup in Japan.

He doesn't generally do it at all, for anybody, so don't say too much the next one could be just as positive about the Springboks if you don't get carried away!
He also pointed out the "no killer instinct" narrative that they simply weren't good enough. Do yo disagree that SA were that great against NZ?
Readying the article I didn't even see that as a dig towards SA SF, simply an exciting take on how close the ABs really are again to those at the top. I feel it is more you that is taking away from this enjoyment with you replay that is largely based on a lot of old resentment.
Just enjoy how good the rugby is and that NZ is back baby!
Go to commentsAttack coach? What "attack"? All I saw was headless chooks pinballing around the paddock. This whole coaching group needs a shake-down. The BFs have regressed at pace since the Prof & Cronnie days.
We have immense talent, some of the best in world rugby, but it's wasted on this coaching group. I put Bunting in the same loser category as Penney & Foster. At this point in time, success at RWC2025 seems a longshot!?!
