Harlequins are reportedly set to sign South African speedster Tyrone Green after he quit Super Rugby franchise The Lions.
According to Neil Fissler from The Rugby Paper, the 22-year-old, who can play full-back, wing, fly-half or centre, is on his way to Twickenham Stoop.
SA Rugby’s Industry Salary Plan (ISP) to deal with the repercussions of Covid-19, introduced a 21-day window allowing players to cancel their contracts with immediate effect.

Harlequins have welcomed more false dawns than most clubs – as highlighted by their misfortune in the transfer market when it comes to exciting signings that ultimately proved disappointing.
1. Paul Doran-Jones
They signed the England international prop from Northampton in 2013 with then boss Conor O’Shea saying: “Not only is Paul talented, at his age he will only get better.” However, after two disappointing seasons at the Stoop, making just 19 appearances, he left to rejoin Gloucester.
