Catalans star Manu Ma’u dedicated his two-try match-winning display against Wigan to his late father.
The ex-Tonga second-row, 34, picked up his first scores for his new club in Friday’s 18-10 win at the Challenge Cup holders. It was his first game back since returning to his native New Zealand following the death of his dad. Ma’u conceded: “It was nice to get off the mark. It was a special one for me and I dedicated that performance to my father.
“It has been tough. It was good to go home and refuel, see the family, keep grounded and then come back and play with the boys again. It was awesome. It was good to get the win.”
