All-Blacks Isa dream still for Nacewa

THE Magners League title may be their immediate priority but Leinster have strengthened their bid for further success next season with the signing of versatile back Isa Nacewa from the Auckland Blues.

The 25-year old has signed a two-year deal and will arrive later this year with the conclusion of his contractual obligations in New Zealand.

Born in New Zealand, Nacewa first gained provincial selection as a 20 year-old. He made his Blues debut in 2005 against the Highlanders and has since appeared 40 times in Super 14 with the north island side. Nacewa made his test debut for Fiji with a two-minute appearance against Scotland in 2003 and has since been trying to have that cap nullified by the IRB in order to represent the All Blacks.
