ERONI VASITERI’S PROPOSED move to Connacht won’t be happening.
Last month, the province announced that the Fijian international was joining on a one-year deal — with the option of a second — to bulk up their midfielder options.
However, 28-year-old Vasiteri was handed a nine-week suspension a week ago for eye-gouging an opponent during Fijian Drua’s clash with the Canberra Vikings in the National Rugby Championship.
In a statement released this morning, Connacht have announced that he will not be making the switch to Ireland for the time being.
Connacht Rugby can confirm that following discussions with Eroni Vasiteri it has been agreed by both parties that Vasiteri’s planned move to Connacht will not now proceed,” it reads.
“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.”

Longfords to lose without a doubt
I was wondering why they weren’t on the list…..
In all fairness are you that stuck for articles that you’ve to put up this poll.
Maybe if Australia and Azerbaijan could enter the dubs might be challenged.
The only things less anticipated are the Ulster and Connacht Hurling Chanpionships
Is this a joke
Yes, enjoy it.
This must be the most ridiculous poll ever! Why not set one up for the colour of the sky!
The colour comes from sunlight that has been scattered by the air. There’s also red sunlight but not in a high enough concentration to do anything to effect the colour.
I thought it was to do with light passing through nitrogen.
cant wait for RTE’s live coverage of Dublins Leinster Quarter Final, should be worth the license fee.
MON LOUTH!!
Silly poll
Everyone knows the DUBS are the masters
~32% of the country are delusional, and I’m a non-Dublin Leinster man.
I wouldn’t say delusional , I clicked on laois for the craic !
Slow news day, lads??
The fact that bookmakers are only taking bets for ‘Leinster without Dublin’ says it all.
Highly Anticipated my arse .
I am surprised it is only 69%
You can treat 30% as ‘spoiled votes’ made up Dubs voting for other counties for a laugh and a hardcore who will only vote for their county.
That would leave about 1% who actually believe another county will win so the poll should be showing about 99% for Dublin
Meath for Leinster, Meath for Sam. Hon d’Kaypak.
You must be bloody joking Stephen, Lord lamb a jaysus this is a crazy statement to make?? Hoh? Are ya mad??
Sure jaysus Meath are diobolical at the minute, hoh? Ya feckin lug ya
Pointless pole.
Dublin is 68% it shows people just vote for their counties
Stupid question
