With Alex Moon on his way to UBB, Bayonne have found another solid 5. Brian Alainu’uese (31) has signed for two seasons. The announcement was made official on Tuesday. The lock arrives from Toulon.

The Samoa international (8 caps) arrives with plenty of top-level experience. The Samoan giant (2.02 m, 135 kg) signed for Toulon in 2018 after a spell in Scotland with Glasgow Warriors.

Macharashvili, Cramont, Géraci, Coly, Du Preez and now Alainu’uese: Aviron Bayonnais have landed another quality recruit with next season in mind.
