All Blacks duo Malaki Fekitoa and Vaea Fifita are set to leave the Gallagher Premiership club Wasps at the end of the ongoing season according to reports.

The news follows after the Premiership's salary cap reduction which drops from from £6.4 million to £5m as both the players are set to leave from Coventry at the end of the current campaign.

Fifita joined Wasps last summer and is now set to join Welsh regional club Scarlets according to Daily Telegraph UK. He made his debut for the All Blacks in 2017 and has featured in 11 Tests with his last appearance coming in July 2019.

Meanwhile, Fekitoa joined Wasps in 2019 and was amongst the 17 senior players to miss the club's recent win over Leicester Tigers at The Ricoh Arena last weekend.

Even though, the 29-year-old was linked with the Top 14 clubs, Rugby Paper and Rugby Pass have revealed that Munster will be the likely destination for the former Blues and Highlanders centre.

The win over Leicester Tigers saw Wasps climb up to the eighth position in the Gallagher Premiership table and will be taking on Toulouse next in the Heineken Champions Cup at Coventry Building Society Arena on 15th January.
