Americas Rugby News Rugby news from across the Americas!
Langi Haupeakui has officially left the Glasgow Warriors. The club confirmed the news in a brief statement on their website, citing ‘family reasons’ for the San Mateo native’s decision not to return to Scotland following the holiday break. It ends his stay having played only four games for the newly-qualified Champions Cup quarter finalists, and brings an abrupt end to what was originally a two-year deal at one of the top clubs in Europe.
The outcome is unlikely to impress other potential suitors and Haupeakui may find it difficult to find a new club willing to take a chance on him in the immediate future. It does open the possibility of him joining up with the Eagles during the Americas Rugby Championship, though he was not among the 35 players named earlier this week by coach John Mitchell.
