Craig Wing to switches codes! Philippines rugby hopeful.

This week the rumours became reality. More importantly, however, Wing may, or at least should be, in talks with the Philippines Rugby Football Union (PRFU) about playing for the Volcanoes.

Craig Wing currently plays rugby league for the South Sydney Rabbitohs and has represented New South Wales in the State of Origin and Australia.
