French international second row Posolo Tuilagi was evacuated on a stretcher this Saturday, leaving the pitch at the Stade Aimé-Giral in Perpignan after a significant injury to his left ankle.
Very bad news in perspective for Perpignan as well as for the XV of France. We were playing the 17th minute of play this Saturday afternoon, when Posolo Tuilagi once again went to challenge the ASM defense. Except that the colossus (1.92m, 146 kg) did not recover from the tackle of Barnabé Massa, the Auvergne hooker.
Hit in the left ankle, the French international (5 selections) then quickly requested the intervention of the trainers, before the referee of the match, Ludovic Cayre, stopped the game. Immediately, we saw the one of the Clermont players took his head in his hands when he discovered the condition of the left leg of the young 20-year-old player.

“Oh dear, the ankle, oh dear. That’s the image we certainly didn’t want to see in Perpignan with, a priori, the serious injury Posolo Tuilagi” commented the Canal + Sport journalist while Barnabé Massa, his former teammate with the U20s of the France team, came to the news. After several minutes of interruption, and to the cheers of the Aimé-Giral Stadium, the second row was then evacuated on a stretcher.
