The news that Ulster will not, after all, be signing the Fijian forward Leone Nakarawa does not come as a huge surprise. Nakarawa’s proposed move fell through over a medical report, with a brief Ulster statement saying: “We can today confirm that, on receipt of a detailed medical report following an examination by the club at the weekend, Leone Nakarawa will no longer be joining Ulster Rugby for next season. “This outcome is disappointing for both the player and Ulster Rugby, however, we will continue to build strongly with our preparations for next season. We wish Leone the very best for the future.”During his first three0year spell with Glasgow, Nakarawa played 69 times for the Warriors, creating two tries and claiming the man-of-the-match award in the 31-13 victory over Munster in the 2015 Guinness Pro12 final in Belfast. Nakarawa played three times before flying to Fiji when lockdown arrived.
