Followed by several French clubs, third row Juarno Augustus will finally join the URC. He became involved with Ulster.
Looking for a powerful third line center, Aviron bayonnais and the Union Bordeaux-Bègles had checked the profile of Juarno Augustus. At 26, he is wreaking havoc in the Premiership, having led his club Northampton to the English league title last season. But the South African will not join the Top 14 for the moment. This Tuesday, Ulster announced its arrival for the next three ideas, with a video montage relating to its namesake Roman emperor, Augustus. “He showed with Northampton Saints that he has a huge physical presence, is a fantastic ball carrier and poses a destructive threat”general manager Bryn Cunningham rejoiced on the official website of the Irish club.
Arriving at the Saints in 2021 from the Stormers, the 26-year-old (1m85, 118kg) has, to date, played 65 matches for his current club. “I'm very excited to sign for such a historic club as Ulster. From the conversations I've had, I believe in the club's project, which I can see the potential of. […] I've heard about the province's history with South African players, so I hope I'll feel at home.”exclaimed the main person concerned.
