Niko Matawalu to leave Glasgow at the end of the season
By PA
Title winners Niko Matawalu and Alex Allan are both leaving Glasgow at the end of the season. The pair, who have 246 Warriors appearances between them, were part of the club’s PRO12 title success in 2015.
Harrogate-born prop Allan joined Glasgow in 2014 and earned eight caps for Scotland.
“I am immensely proud to have represented Glasgow Warriors,” the 29-year-old told the club’s official website.
“There have been some incredible moments over the last seven years both on and off the pitch.”
Fijian scrum-half Matawalu first joined Warriors in 2012 and is in his second spell with the club. He was voted the club’s player of the season in 2013 and 2015 and has scored 44 tries – only DTH Van Der Merwe and Tommy Seymour have more.
“When I first joined Glasgow Warriors in 2012 the biggest thing that stood out to me was the culture that the players created; I loved how the club had clans, traditions and customs – all like Fiji,” Matawalu, 32, said.
“Glasgow is my second home and I feel an immense sense of pride to have been part of this wonderful club.
“I’m ready to experience something new outside of Glasgow but I will miss and look back fondly on my time working and playing with all of my babies.”

What's the problem with that? When you realise that an American NFL game takes about four hours, with playing time 60 minutes, that is a totally rubbish argument, especially as the yank market is the big attraction, considering the fact that RWC2031 is going to be there! The big danger of course - like with the Aussies and their very simple (and one-dimensional) Aussie Rules and Rugby League - is that union will have to be dumbed-down so the yanks can understand it, considering their one-dimensional alternatives like NFL, baseball and basketball. But we'll be watching Robinson's every step for sure.
Go to commentsBro you the ONLY dude comparing BOKS and ALL BLACKS to decide WHO YOU THINK IS BETTER.
WHAT DID THE ALL BLACKS WIN? ACTUALLY? HOW do you compare Eben with Scott Barrett?????He is NOWHERE NEAR that level & never will be. Not even mentioning Vaa'i.
The All Blacks won NOTHING significant. Their Biggest achievement in the last 14 months was beating Ireland in a QF & losing in the Final against the BOKS.
In 3 years they've lost 6 TIMES to this Bok team?
