Weepu ponders league switch

DUMPED All Blacks half back Piri Weepu says he’s on the verge of switching to the rival rugby league code after failing to make the World Cup squad.

Weepu, who had been part of the All Blacks inner circle of 22 players all year, was the shock omission when a 29-man World Cup squad was named last weekend.

Weepu said he wanted to jump to rugby league as soon as he was told he had missed the cut.
