Only 3 appearances in Top 14

Kpoku has only played 6 matches (3 in the Top 14, 3 in the Challenge Cup), including 5 as a starter, this season.

Bad news for English rugby which hoped to recover its U20 international, trained in Exeter. Because if the agreement currently only concerns the end of the season, Toulon could extend the versatile forward, considered Jiff in a few months.
