Brian Alainu'uese '˜closing in on move from Glasgow Warriors to Toulon'
As revealed last month, the 24-year-old New Zealand-born former Samoa Under-20 international has been to the south of France to discuss a possible switch.
Reports today claimed that a one-year deal, with an option for a further year, had been signed but The Scotsman understands that there is no official agreement in place as yet.

Last month Glasgow assistant coach Kenny Murray denied reports that Alainu’uese had been on trial at Toulon and said: “He is injured and has not played for a while.
“He is out of contract next season. He will be looking at different options but we are still in discussions with him.”
