Fiji Airways Flying Fijians World Cup skipper Dominiko Waqaniburo­tu is looking for a new club.

This was after it emerged in French media that he will not extend his one-year stay at Pau.

The 34-year-old hooked up with the Top 14 club on a one-season deal following the 2019 World Cup in Japan, but he has not had the best of times.

He made just four league appearance­s (and one in the Challenge Cup) in an injury-hit campaign that was officially terminated on Thursday by French officials due to the coronaviru­s pandemic.

Prior to his switch to Pau, Waqaniburo­tu has spent seven productive seasons at Brive. He was highly regarded at Brive. Their coach Jeremy Davidson stating in January 2019: “He is a player who has an aura in the group.

“He does not let himself down.

“He is a tough guy, a leader of men. He embodies an authority, not by his words but by his actions.”

Capped 51 times by his country, Waqaniburo­tu had led Fiji to a historic win in Paris over France in 2018.-Rugby Pass
