Experienced at the top level, Joussain - who lists the likes of Leicester Tigers and Nottingham among his former clubs - joined Warriors in the summer, having worked with head coach Matt Everard during his time at Tigers.

Joussain had spent a period on the side lines injured after featuring in Warriors' opening-day round one victory over Coventry but has played more regularly in recent weeks, featuring five times since February 13.
