[QUOTE="M Two One, post: 515721, member: 29650"] Some important news coming from French rugby that fans should take note of— First, Béziers has been given a reprieve as Bourgoin were found to be financially unable to remain in professional rugby and were subsequently relegated to Fédérale 1 instead. This comes as no shock, though it was thought that Brive would also suffer the same fate. With the financial reports in, several other clubs have also been tossed around throughout the French leagues. While I don't have time to report every little detail I will mention that this includes clubs from bigger cities such as Stade Phocéen, Nîmes and Nice, all of which were relegated down to Fédérale 3. Also, Saint-Sulpice was the only club of eight to be rejected an opportunity to play in Fédérale 1 after earning a spot through the promotion playoffs. The club will be replaced by Saint-Jean d'Angely. You can view the official pools for Fédérale 2 and 3 in [I]pdf[/I] form by following the links below. Fédérale 1 pools are already available at the Rugby Federal website.
