Le talonneur du MHR, Christopher Tolofua, s'entraîne au poste de pilier droit depuis deux semaines.

Without knowing it, the MHR staff had anticipated the thing. With Mohamed Haouas suspended after new excesses, there are only two professional right pillars left who are fit: Wilfrid Hounkpatin and Luka Japaridze. At the training center, the Australian Peniata Poutasi (20 years old) could move up a notch but he is not Jiff (player from the French training).

“He wants to see that”

For two weeks, an alternative has started to be worked on. “We are currently working with Christopher Tolofua on the right pillar position. He has been working on it for two weeks. I find him quite strong and interesting. In addition, he wants to see that, even if his first position remains the hooker position”, analyzes Joan Caudullo, Montpellier manager.

With his 120 kg (for 1.83m), “Tolo” will not have, in addition, an inferiority complex on the physical level. He is also considered one of the best in his position in closed scrum.
