Enormous France U20s star Tuilagi decides club future

Posolo Tuilagi, the giant 150kg second row star of France's U20s side, has decided his immediate club future following France's triumph in the Rugby World Cup U20 Championship held in South Africa on Friday.

Les Petit Bleus defeated Ireland 50-14 in the final at Athlone Stadium near Cape Town, with the outsized son of Henry Tuilagi once again playing a major role in the win.

Fresh off the victory, it has been confirmed that the 18-year-old Tuilagi has chosen to extend his contract with Perpignan until 2026, despite considerable interest in his services from other Top 14 sides.

This news comes as a major boost for the struggling side, as they secure the services of the 6'4, 23 stone forward who can play lock and back row and who has gained widespread recognition throughout the season, both in the Top 14 and for his exploits with the U20s.

The president of the Catalan club, François Rivière, announced the contract extension, sharing the news with the club's supporters and French rugby enthusiasts via social media.

"Good news never comes alone, France are world champions under 20, and today I am very happy and very proud to announce the firm extension of Posolo Tuilagi's contract with USAP until at 2026," said Riviére. "It was for Franck Azema, Bruno Rolland and myself an important objective to conclude now. All my friendship and my gratitude to Henri and all the family of Posolo for their renewed confidence in Usap. Visca USAP."
