Perpignan are going to need fresh blood… Rooted to the bottom of the table, the Catalan club will be able to call on Jordan Petaia, their most recent signing. The Australia international (31 caps) is “back to 100%”, as USAP have confirmed. The former Queensland Reds player will bring his dynamism, his pace and his power (1.90m, 103kg).

The 25-year-old – able to play on the wing or in the centre – should therefore be in contention for the crucial home game against UBB this weekend. An important return, especially with Buliruarua and Paia’aua both sidelined through injury.
