Heaviest player signs for Leeds

Pala'amo will be the heaviest player in the Guinness Premiership

Leeds have signed massive Samoa prop Fosi Pala'amo, who will replace Worcester's Gavin Quinnell as the heaviest player in the Premiership.

Pala'amo, who weighs in at 22st 12lb, joins from Irish province Leinster.

Leeds director of rugby Stuart Lancaster said: "I spoke to Leinster coach Michael Cheika regarding Fosi and he couldn't speak highly enough of him.

"He adds bulk to our pack and has the ability to scrummage well, plus he carries the ball well."
