Isa Naecewa rejects move to Ospreys

OSPREYS have failed to land a prime target for about the first time – losing out to Leinster in the race for Super 14 star Isa Naecewa.

The Blues and Auckland centre or full-back was top of their shopping list but instead opted to sign a two-year deal with the crack Irish province.

Fiji cap Nacewa will switch to Leinster, who are on the verge of securing the Magners League title, when his contract with Auckland expires at the conclusion of the provinces-contested Air New Zealand Cup later this year.
