The Scotsman newspaper is claiming Glasgow Warriors have secured the signature of the American international back-row forward Langilangi Haupeakui, subject to a work permit.

Langilangi is of Tongan heritage with one US Test cap to his name but has made a big impact in the American Pro League playing with Sacramento.

At 6ft 1in and over 18 stones, he came to the game late, playing American football at university before switching to rugby.

Langilangi had already been approached by Harlequins, who held a pre-season training camp in Northern California during the summer.
