Sopoaga clears rumors of leaving Wasps

December 4, 2019 11:41 am

Former All Black Lima Sopoaga has shot down rumours of leaving his European club after a difficult transition since moving to the UK last year.

Sopoaga has produced mixed performances for Wasps since joining the club on a lucrative, multi-million dollar deal in 2018.

The inconsistency has led to the 28-year-old losing his starting spot to Jacob Umaga – nephew of All Blacks great Tana Umaga.

As such, British media reported over the weekend Sopoaga was looking to decline the option on his contract to play a third season with Wasps and would look to move on after the current season.

However, the former Highlanders star took to social media to quash the speculation.

Sopoaga has scored 43 points in seven games for the Wasps so far this season.
