London Irish sign one of the most powerful wingers in rugby - Napolioni Nalaga

Newly promoted London Irish have added powerhouse wing Napolioni Nalaga to their books from Top 14 side Lyon.

The 6'3, 109kg Fijian monster will be one of two giant wingers at the club, as he joins the imposing presence of 6'4, 115kg Joe Cokanasiga, who is currently on England duty in Argentina.

Nalaga (31) scored 105 tries in 165 games during his time at Clermont Auvergne and was a Heineken Cup Finalist in 2013, losing out to Toulon.

Speaking to the club website, Nalaga said: “I’m really pleased to have the opportunity to join London Irish in the Premiership and I’ll be doing everything I can to help the club perform to the high standards that this club demands.”

“I’ve always had the ambition to play in the Premiership and I can’t wait to show what I can do on the big stage with Irish, a club that has fantastic support.”

London Irish Director of Rugby Kennedy said: “Napolioni is a great addition to the London Irish squad and we’re all looking forward to welcoming him to the club this summer.

“I played against him in the Heineken Cup Final in 2013 and he was superb throughout the game. He’s improved his game year on year and has the try scoring ability, passion and determination to succeed in the Premiership.

“He’ll undoubtedly add firepower and a clinical edge to our backline with his uncompromising running game.”
