Bloemfontein - OFM Sport has reported on its website that former Free State flyhalf Willem de Waal is on his way to Western Province.
De Waal is currently playing rugby for French second league outfit Narbonne.
It is also a well known fact that De Waal was also on the wish list of Cheetah coach, Naka Drotske.
De Waal was at flyhalf when the Cheetahs lifted the Currie Cup in 2005, 2006 and 2007 when both Drotske and former Free State coach Rassie Erasmus were at the helm.
Should De Waal join Province he will be re-united with Erasmus and former Free State fitness trainer Jacques Nienaber. However, it is uncertain if De Waal will be available for this year's Currie Cup.
De Waal is the second former Cheetah to join Province this month. Former Bok prop Ollie le Roux is already in Cape Town and it is believed that he will wear the Western Province jersey in the Currie Cup after a very successful stint with the Irish club side, Leinster.
