Posolo Tuilagi is finally back. On the show 100 % USAP, Franck Azema confirmed that the France international lock will be available to take on Montauban this weekend. Excellent news for USAP, who are hunting for points, and for the big man, who has suffered one serious injury after another.

At the same time, however, Perpignan are picking up several injuries. First that of flanker Della-Schiava, out for between “six and seven months”, according to Azema, then ankle problems for Adrien Warion and Peceli Yato.

Hurt against UBB, Jacobus Van Tonder is hoped to be fit for the meeting with Montauban. In other news, the Catalan staff are looking for a number 10 and a lock or back-rower with an “aerial” profile.
