'He's been excellent' - Dowson impressed with Saints PREM debutant Caqusau

Phil Dowson has praised 'very talented individual' Amena Caqusau ahead of the wing's Gallagher PREM debut this weekend.

The 21-year-old arrived at Saints from Glasgow Warriors during the summer and has made four appearances so far, all of which have come in the PREM Rugby Cup.

But now he gets the chance to make his league bow against Bristol Bears at Ashton Gate on Saturday evening (kick-off 5.45pm).

And this week, Dowson discussed the impression Caqusau has made during the formative stages of his Saints career.

"He's been excellent," Dowson said.

"He's very athletic, he's got the ability to beat people.

"His dad was in the army and I think I played sevens against him so he probably beat me a few times.

"He's a very talented individual and it’s been good to see him getting some opportunity under the lights."
