Worth wanted to replace Le Roux

-

WASPS are plotting a move for Leicester Tigers full-back George Worth to replace Springbok star Willie le Roux who is departing the club to take up a contract in Japan.

Peterborou­gh-born Worth, 22, joined the Tigers two years ago and is under contract at Welford Road until the end of next season.

But Dai Young,

right, has Worth – who has made 30 first team appearance and attended the same school as Will Evans – on his radar.

If he can’t get him this summer he is prepared to wait for the final year of his contract to expire before making another move.
