Former NRL star and Wallabies winger Suliasi Vunivalu will not feature for the Queensland Reds for the 2025 Shop N Save Super Rugby Pacific season after his name was dropped from the final 40-member squad.
Reports say that the 28-year-old is expected to depart Australia for the French Top 14 competition.
Vunivalu's high-profile code switch from rugby league’s Melbourne Storm, with whom he won two NRL titles, drew plenty of eyes back in 2021.
However, the Fijian-born flyer never quite found his feet in the 15-a-side game, battling injuries and form.
Vunivalu was snubbed by Wallabies coach Joe Schmidt to the extent that he failed to even be named in a 30-man Australia XV squad – a second-string national contingent for this month’s matches against Bristol and England A.
