The Independent reports on the increasingly curious case of Mikaele Pesamino, the Samoan Sevens ace who signed for Sale Sharks two months ago but has yet to appear at Edgeley Park.
"Mikaele Pesamino, the spectacularly successful seven-a-side specialist from Samoa, is widely considered to be among the quickest players in world rugby. Unfortunately for Sale, his new employers, the Pacific islander's move to the north-west of England has been slow to the point of tortoise-like.
"A day before the start of a new Aviva Premiership season that is pivotal to the club's future as a serious force in the domestic game, there is still no sign of the man, although if he is as fast as people say, he may possibly have been and gone without anyone noticing.
"Mike Brewer, who is about to embark on his first campaign as the head coach at Edgeley Park, is more than a little baffled - hardly an ideal state of mind, given the proximity of tomorrow night's opener against Newcastle."
