Luke Watson has options from different clubs if he wants to continue his rugby career overseas after his involvement in the latest media storm.

Report on News24

In the latest row the South African Rugby Union appointed a designated official to investigate statements alleged to have been made by Springbok and Western Province loose forward Watson.

Durban attorney Dekker Govender has been tasked with investigating the allegations and weighing up the evidence to determine if they merit a breach of the South African Rugby Union code of conduct.

In an interview with the Wimpy Big Breakfast team of the radio station, OFM, Watson’s agent Jason Smith confirmed that “we have some interest from overseas clubs for Luke for the last 12 months. If Luke decides that he wants to play in Europe, these opportunities will definitely be available.”

Watson’s father, Cheeky Watson, confirmed “there is already a big offer on the table.” But he said “Luke is born in South Africa. Why must he pack his bags?.”

    I wonder if this is past tense?

    Can’t imagine any club wanting
    to associate with him now.

    Cheeky will not allow him to leave.

    Luke is to much part of Cheeky’s political ambitions

    Will this be Mr Watson’s ‘going into exile years’ to escape the oppressors of the Boere staat? :lol:
