International trio resign for Welsh

London Welsh stars Paul Sampson, Sunia Koto Vuli and Wame Lewaravu have all agreed contract extensions with the club.

Sampson's 11th league try of the season helped Welsh to a bonus-point win over the Cornish Pirates at the weekend and to their highest National One finish (7th) in four seasons.

Former England and Wasps wing/full back Sampson, 30, joined the Exiles in the summer of 2006 from Blackheath, and after an injury blighted first season at Old Deer Park, missed just one league match of the 2007/08 season.

Sunia Koto Vuli, 28 and Wame Lewaravu, 25, joined Welsh in November last year, having helped Fiji reach the quarter finals of the World Cup, making their National League One debuts at Doncaster.

In the recent campaign, hooker Vuli made 16 appearances for the Exiles with second row forward Lewaravu making 17 appearances, scoring three tries.

The pair will now join up with Fiji to prepare for the Pacific Six Nations which begins in July.

London Welsh chief executive Peter Thomas said: "It is very pleasing that Paul has agreed to re-sign with the club.

"He has been our leading try scorer this season and also won our supporters Player of the Season Award.

"Paul has had an injury free year and is still one of the best finishers in the game, and he's shown that this season.

"Wame and Sunia have been outstanding for us since their arrival and we are absolutely delighted that they have decided to extend their stay with the club.

"They are a credit to Fiji and Fijian rugby.

"They work hard both on and off the field and we will be very pleased to welcome them both back for the new season."
