BRISTOL BEARS flyer Ratu Naulago could become the next South Sea Islander to be given a chance to impress by England coach Eddie Jones.
The Fijian, who is on an extended leave from the Yorkshire Regiment, joined the Bears on a two-year contract last summer and is England qualified.
Naulago, 28, who played Sevens for Bath and Saracens before joining Super League Hull FC, has scored seven tries for the Bears so far this season to get onto Jones’ radar.
Blindside understands that the Bears are letting Naulago’s feet do all his talking and aren’t making him available for interview.
