Sailor makes his return to rugby

Monday 12th May 2008

Free man: Sailor is free to play rugby again

Former Australia and Waratahs wing Wendell Sailor has signed with rugby league side St George Illawarra Dragons.

Sailor, who has banned for two years after testing positive to cocaine whilst playing for the Waratahs in 2006, has completed his two-year ban.

He will make his rugby league comeback this Saturday with Jim Beam Cup side the Shellharbour Marlins against Erina in Shellharbour.

Sailor says his first preference is to return to the wing, the position he played in most of his 185 first grade games for Brisbane, and for Queensland and Australia.
