Leicester Tigers have confirmed the departure of South African rugby player Jasper Wiese at the end of the season. Wiese, known as the team's biggest carrier, will finish his time with the club at the end of the 2023/24 season. Reports suggest that he is set for a move to a second-division Japanese club, with a 50% salary increase. Stade Francais and a Japanese club are reportedly front runners to sign the World Cup winner. Suggestions have been made for Evan Roos to replace Wiese at Leicester Tigers.
If I were Leicester Tigers, I would call Evan Roos immediately to replace Jasper Wiese.
