Former All Black Lima Sopoaga is keeping his head down amid his northern hemisphere struggles, ready to charge into his second campaign for Premiership side Wasps.

28-year-old Sopoaga, had a year to forget in his debut campaign with the Coventry-based side, struggling to adapt to the English club game and named as the “worst signing” by NZ media.
Sopoaga’s build up to his 2019/20 campaign has been stop-start, hampered by numerous injuries leading into Wasps’ new season.

Meanwhile Wasps begin their new English Premiership season on October 21, taking on London Irish at home.
