At 35, Apisai Naqalevu is set to leave USAP. According to ActuRugby, the Fijian centre (1 cap with the fifteen-a-side side) will not be kept on by Perpignan at the end of the season. A former Clermont player, he had linked up again at USAP with Franck Azéma, his former coach.

Still as powerful as ever (1.84 m, 104 kg), the versatile player — able to play in both centre positions — retains real impact. Several Pro D2 clubs are said to be interested in his profile, among them Mont-de-Marsan, where he played between 2015 and 2017 (46 matches). Nothing has been confirmed yet, but a new challenge in the second division looks likely.
