Sale Sharks have told Fiji captain Waisea Nayacalevu that he is free to leave the club if he can find himself another club after he struggled to make the impact it was hoped following his move from Toulon last summer.

Outside centre Nayacalevu, 34, signed a one-year deal with the Sharks, who are sixth in the Premiership table, four points outside the top four places, with the option of a second year depending on form and fitness.

They had earmarked him as the short-term replacement for Manu Tuilagi when he signed a two-year deal with Top 14 outfit Bayonne, but he has struggled to hold down a regular first-team place.

Nayacalevu, who played alongside his brother Avenisi Vasuinubu for Melbourne in the Victoria Rugby Championship, moved to France where he spent a decade playing for Stade Francais after impressing in the PNC.

He has only made six appearances for the Sharks this season, but he hasn’t started a game for Alex Sanderson’s side since the 47-17 defeat to Premiership champions Northampton Saints at Franklin’s Gardens in October.

Nayacalevu, who made 185 appearances for Stade before spending two years in Toulon, has played just 21 minutes in two games since playing for Fiji against Ireland in their final Autumn international.

Sanderson was initially delighted with the signing of Nayacalevu, who famously scored for Fiji in their historic pre-World Cup win against England at Twickenham saying in September.

“I miss Manu, miss him for so many reasons. But Waisea brings something different. He can tank it, but he has got an outside break as well. He has got that relaxed demeanour and character that brings young kids on.

“And lightens the huddles that sometimes can get a bit too intense. He has that about him. Manu had it; he [Nayacalevu] has just brought a different edge to us, having had Manu for so long,” he said.

However, he is now free to look for another club, and the Sharks are believed to be searching fertile hunting grounds in South Africa for his replacement.

Leinster cleanse palette with record URC scoreline against Zebre

My name is Solenn Bonnet, and I am a single mother navigating the challenges of raising my two-year-old child while trying to make ends meet. I came across a trading platform that promised astonishing daily profits of 18%. The allure of such a high return on investment was too tempting to resist, and I found myself drawn into cryptocurrency trading. Excited by the prospect of financial freedom, I invested a significant amount of my savings, totaling over 5.7 BTC. However, what started as a hopeful venture quickly turned into a nightmare. The platform was a scam, and I lost everything I had invested. The emotional toll of this loss was immense; I felt devastated and helpless, struggling to provide for my child and keep up with my bills. In my desperate attempt to recover my funds, I sought help from various recovery experts. Unfortunately, I encountered numerous fraudulent individuals who claimed they could help me retrieve my lost money. Each time I reached out, I was met with disappointment and further scams, which only deepened my despair. Last year was one of the most challenging periods of my life, filled with anxiety and uncertainty about my financial future. Feeling overwhelmed and at a loss, I confided in a close friend from church about my situation. She listened compassionately and shared her own experiences with financial difficulties. Understanding my plight, she introduced me to Tech Cyber Force Recovery, a group of skilled hackers known for their expertise in recovering lost funds. Skeptical yet hopeful, I decided to reach out to them as a last resort. Their services came at a higher cost, but my friend generously offered to help me with a partial payment. I was amazed by how quickly they responded and began the recovery process. Their team was professional, efficient, and incredibly supportive throughout the entire ordeal. To my relief, they successfully recovered more than I had lost to those heartless scammers. This was truly transformative, and I felt a sense of relief and gratitude that I hadn’t felt in a long time. I strongly encourage anyone who has faced similar challenges or fallen victim to scams to reach out to Tech Cyber Force Recovery. If you’ve invested in a fraudulent platform like I did, they are highly capable of helping you reclaim your hard-earned money. Don’t lose hope; there is a way to recover what you’ve lost.
