Fijian centre's Pro14 contract falls through after eye-gouge ban
By RugbyPass
Connacht Rugby have confirmed that following discussions with Eroni Vasiteri it has been agreed by both parties that Vasiteri's planned move to Connacht will not now proceed.
Due to a recent suspension Vasiteri would not have been in a position to proceed with the move until later in the season.
Connacht Rugby wishes Eroni Vasiteri every success in his future career and hope to make an announcement on an alternative signing shortly.
28-year-old Eroni was to join from the National Rugby Championship in Australia where he is currently playing for Fijian side Fijian Drua.
He has previously played for French Top 14 side Agen and Nadroga Rugby Fiji, where he was voted the best player of the Fijian Championship in 2014.
Upon the announcement of his signing back in September Eroni Vasiteri stated: "I am hugely excited about this latest challenge in my career. I cannot wait to get over to Ireland and start training with my new teammates.
"The new Guinness PRO14 Championship is an exciting competition and I can't wait to line out for Connacht in the season ahead. Connacht has a legendary support in the Sportsground and I look forward to representing the province.”

I think we need to get innovative with the new laws.
Now red cards are only 20 minutes, Razor should send Finau on a head hunting mission to hospitalise their 10 with a shoulder to the chops.
Give the conspiracy theorists a win.
Go to commentsEngland played well enough to win but couldnt score when they needed to and couldnt defend a couple of X-Factor moments from Telea which was ultimately the difference. They needed to hold the ball more and make the AB's make more tackles. Territorially they were good for the first 60. Defending their lead and playing pragmatic rugby in the last 20 was silly. The AB's always had the potential to come back. England still have a long way to go, definite progress would have been shown had they won but it seems they are still stuck where they were shortly after the six nations and their tour to NZ
