London Irish sign Toulon prop and two other Test stars

London Irish are continuing to build their squad for their return to the Premiership next season with the signing of Toulon‘s Fijian international tighthead Manasa Saulo as well as Wallaby Jake Schatz and Samoan Teofilo Paulo.
Saulo, 28, who has 30 international caps to his name having made his Test debut against England at Twickenham in 2012.
Back-rower Schatz, 26, has been playing for the Rebels this season but he made his name with the Reds where he won the Super Rugby in 2011.
Lock Paulo will arrived from Treviso and he also played over 50 games for the Cardiff Blues prior to his move to Italy in 2015.
London Irish Director of Rugby Nick Kennedy said: “Manasa is a very good signing for us and he’s got quality in the front row.
“He’s a dynamic ball carrier with a hard edge in defence, who will no doubt improve our pack considerably.
“With his international experience, Teofilo is a very good addition who will further enhance the competition for places in the squad. I’m looking forward to seeing what he can bring to the team.
“Jake has played at the very highest level both domestically and internationally and he is a fantastic signing for us.
“He’s an abrasive ball carrier, who is aggressive over the ruck and will add dynamism to the back row.”
