Wasps add Siale Piutau until the end of the season
- 1001
The Tongan international is the elder brother of Wasps’ Charles Piutau, Siale has 24 caps for Tonga and joins the club from Yamaha Jubilo in Japan.
“We’ve been left a little bit short with the injuries in the centres and we’re pleased to be able to add someone of Siale’s experience to the squad. We’re expecting Ben Jacobs to be back fit in the next few weeks but, with Elliot away on England duty for the 6 Nations, we needed to add a bit of depth in that department," said Wasps coach Dai Young.

“Siale’s transition into the squad will no doubt be made slightly easier by having his brother here, he’s already contributing a lot in training and we’re pleased to have him on board until the end of the season.”
