Aaron Mauger looks set to follow the path of Luke McAlister and Chris Jack back to New Zealand rugby in time for the World Cup next year. The centre talks to Peter Bills for the Weekend Herald.
"Slowly, yet surely Graham Henry's potential World Cup squad is gathering both momentum and quality.
"Mauger made little attempt to hide the way he is leaning. The positive nature of his remarks about what he calls "new challenges" back home, both for himself and his family, reveal his thinking. "I would be excited about the possibility of returning home," he admitted.
"I haven't signed anything yet, back home or here. But going home is definitely an option."
"If that sounds ambiguous, New Zealand rugby fans need not be too worried. It's just that Mauger is fully aware of the considerable efforts Leicester have made over the last 30 months to help him settle and enjoy his stay.He wants to be fair to them, too."
