Turnaround for Elia Elia. As indicated on our site last week, the 27-year-old hooker had given his agreement to the leaders of Oyonnax. Passed by the English club Harlequins (2017-2021) and Bourg-en-Bresse (2021-2022), the Samoan was to join the Ain club next summer. But according to our information, Montpellier then positioned itself with superior resources. The player, who has scored 8 tries in 14 Pro D2 matches since the start of the season, has finally changed his mind and is now heading to the MHR where he has signed up for three years. Which shouldn’t really delight Oyonnax…
In search of several hookers, the Hérault club has also made good progress with the arrival of Toulonnais Christopher Tolofua even if the file has not yet been completed. Finally, still in the same position, Montpellier wishes to keep the Georgian Vano Karkadze, who arrived last summer for one season. Discussions exist in this direction. The Australian Brandon Paenga-Amosa should return to the country.
