Tuqiri turned down English offers
Lote Tuqiri
Tuqiri's decision to stay ended a long-running saga
Winger Lote Tuqiri says he received offers from English rugby union and league teams before signing a new deal with the Australian Rugby Union.

The 27-year-old ended speculation over his future on Monday when he rejected the chance to return to rugby league and decided to stay with union.

"Lot of things came along in the last 24 hours," said Tuqiri.

"A couple of calls from Saracens and Worcester, and then Wigan came in there as well."
