Jone Qovu out for months with knee injury

By
Tuesday 5 Dec 2017

Qovu, 32, has started 10 of La Rochelle's 14 games this season, but will go under the knife next week after suffering the injury in training.

"It's a tough blow first for the player, who prepared well in the off season and has had a good start to the season," La Rochelle coach Patrice Collazo said.

"It's also a hammerblow for the team. Jone is an important player in the squad, but it's part of the vagaries of a season."

Qovu, capped 13 times by Fiji, joined La Rochelle in 2014 from Racing 92, where he spent seven seasons.
