Former Fiji Sevens star Eroni Sau nicknamed “the Sledgehammer” has joined Edinburgh in Scotland after signing a two year deal with the club.
Sau says that he is excited by the opportunity to join Edinburgh and to test himself in the Guinness PRO14 and in Europe too.
Sau signs for Edinburgh from French club Perpignan who he joined in May 2018.
🗣️ "The nickname of the The Sledgehammer speaks for itself. That gives you an idea of what he brings with and without the ball."
