[FrenchFan]

Rudi Wulf and David Smith of Toulon (Smith is best try scorer in the league) going to .......Castres :huh:

Mind you with a coach like Christophe Urios (ex Oyonnax), Castres could be transformed next season. Their problem last season was losing their 2 coaches (Labit and Travers to Racing). They certainly haven't lost out with Urios.

We will have a Super XV South-African franchise in Montpellier

And I like our very low-key recruitment. We are holding to our youngsters (all academy players and many U20 Fra) - Marchand, Néti, Cros, Bonneval, Ramos, Baille. The likes of Steenkamp, Kakovin and Tialata may find it hard to get a game next season. Yacouba Camara will fill easily Nyanga's boots as he is an Nyanga 2.0 IMO.

The biggest change is management with Hugo Mola (head coach) and Fabien Pelous (Director).

Hang about FrenchFan Super XV SA Francise we have a Fidjian and an 2 Australians coming as welll!!!!!!! but you may add to your list Bismark Du Plassis, he is now confirmed 3 yr contract as is his brother Jannie. Super XV SA Francise we only have 9 Saffas coming + 1 already present Robert Ebersohn and 2 Saffas coaches and don't forget our 2 French.... most important and an Australian backs coach i'm having lessons in Affricanns!!!!

 

[nickdnz]

'Afrikaans'. First lesson. That'll be R99.00 which is approximately 0.004 Euro's rounded down... comes.. t. nothing. Oh, well.

Hmm, seems I might have to switch my allegiances from Racing to Montpellier.

 

[gaston le gaff]

sorry!!!!!must try harder!!! but welcome if you have to change allegiances, its sunnier in Montpellier and the girls far prettier!!!!

 

[munstermuffin]

Paul O'Connell to Toulon too.

 

[TRF_stormer2010]

Armand van der Merwe (Golden Lions hooker) on loan to RM92. A player I am very excited about. A guy not dissimilar to Szarzewski. A live wire with ball in hand as well even if not quite as 'gifted' as Brits with his vision on attack or as fast as Burden. Formed part of a pretty dominant Lions scrum though the line-out could have functioned better.

Sun and pretty girls are always welcome- not that it'd help me as I am married and here in SA we have more sun than we care for already (our girls are also generally not too shabby either)!

It'd take a lot to move me from Racing though even if they are my '2nd team' behind WP/Stormers. I'm not as fickle as all that to swap over just like that not that my support actually MEANS anything LOL but still.
