Lionel Faure
Age 27

Weight 18st

Philippe Saint Andre said “The Sharks front row has been in excellent form all season but the demands of Heineken Cup rugby next year means that I must continue to strengthen this area. Lionel is a typical French prop, bristling with aggression and power. He has the added benefit of being an accomplished hooker, giving us excellent cover with both Andy Titterrell and Sebastien Bruno liable to miss games whilst on International duty.”
