Justin was forced out of the World Cup after playing only an hour with Samoa when he tore a calf muscle in the tournament’s opening game. He makes his come-back against Ulster tonight and is likely to play again in a back-up game at Leeds on Monday to make sure he is ready for the Heineken Cup opener against Saracens the following Sunday.
“It was difficult to put myself through so much pain and hard work only for it to end the way it did,” he said in The Times. “There is not much you can do, injuries are part of rugby. You just have to get over it and work hard on getting back. Coming back here I am excited at the squad and the calibre of player we have signed to add to the boys from last season.
“Once we have gelled and got everything right on the field we will be a force not just in the Magners League but in Europe as well. The match against Ulster is a good test, my first game in eight weeks and I need to prove my worth to the side because there is such competition to get into the side, which is good for any team.”
