Tigers move for Samoa ace Asiata

LEICESTER have signed Samoan international hooker Richie Asiata. The 30-year-old has played more than 50 times in Super Rugby with Queensland Reds.

“I’m really happy to get involved, I can’t wait to get to know the boys, the fans and the culture,” he said.

New Zealand-born Asiata is a former Australia U20 international but won his first two caps for Samoa earlier this year.
