Rugby ATL have added Fiji international Manasa Saulo to their Major League Rugby roster. The 31-year-old tighthead prop joins the squad ahead of this weekend’s match against Old Glory DC.

In 2014 Saulo signed his first professional contract with Romanian club Timisoara. He then spent two seasons each with Toulon of the French Top 14 and London Irish, first in the English Premiership and then the RFU Championship. Since RWC 2019 he has been playing for his home province of Suva.
