Ronan O’Gara didn’t source or sign ‘10-ton truck’ Uini Atonio for La Rochelle but he would if he could have.
The New Zealand-born France star is one of the world’s biggest professional rugby players and has played his entire career for just the one club.
At 6’6” and 25-and-a-half stone, Atonio has racked up 222 appearances for Stade Rochelais since being recruited for the 2010/11 PROD2 season.
