Tongan international tighthead prop Sona Taumalolo is set to become the latest big name player to leave Perpignan.

Having been relegated from the Top 14, USAP need to offload many of their most expensive players if they hope to be able to balance their books in the ProD2 next season.

The Catalan club were under the spotlight of the DNACG (The French league's financial watchdog) last Friday and Taumalolo is believed to be on his way out.

According to French sports daily Midi Olympique, the 32-year-old is set to return to Super Rugby and the Chiefs, with whom he won back-to-back titles before heading to France.

Go Chiefs ! We could do with someone like him who knows how to burrow under a mass of bodies to score tries. He had an incred ible record in that regard.

Sharkbok: for some reason he was normally the second string player with the Chiefs & then had a few good games with the ABs. 
He is a young one that is being developed slowly but I agree as of yet we have not seen a player who is ready to take hold of the position at national level and make it his own. 

He doesn't impress as much as a player like Kaino. It took Kaino a long time to be Kaino though if you know what I mean. Look at Vito, he looks like he is finally ready to be an AB but that also has taken years & a few demotions.

I was in hysterics when Taumalolo showed Jannie what it is to scrum.

Reckon he's still trying to dislodge his head from his anal cavity.

Very impressive.

What had me rolling on the floor was when that giant (Fijian I think) pushed Bakkies flying with the one hand. Bakkies knew he would lose his life if he pursued the matter, as he usually would have. Instead he timidly backed off and made sure there were few additional bodies between himself and the big boy before he mouthed off from a safe distance.

From bully to whimpering coward.

Waaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaahahahahahahahaaaaaaa.

Really enjoyed that.
