Rugby transfers-Bayonne targets a puma at the opening, Valence-Roman offers a beautiful recruit and the Montois stadium extends a great hope: Transfers on Friday May 2.
Bayonne: Tomás Albornoz New track at the opening
This is the big question for a few weeks in Bayonne: who will replace Camille Lopez ? The international opener surprised his world by announcing his retirement at the end of the season, to join the rowing. Thus, several names have recently circulated, Gareth Anscombe has Luka traveling by the way Tommaso Allan. But obviously, a new renowned courtier appears in the file.
These are Tomás Albornozthe Argentinian international. If it is “only” the n ° 2 of the openers in his country, he remains an excellent player who has already proven internationally. Currently at the Benetton Treviso, he is engaged until 2026, which remains the main obstacle to his arrival. But obviously, Bayonne is optimistic for the rest of the file, and he could train with Joris Segonds A pair of very high level openers.
Dicodusport’s opinion : Bayonne absolutely wants two high -level openers and gives himself the means of his ambitions. Albornoz would represent a very good blow for the club and the Top 14 in general.
Valence-Romans: an international Samoan arrives
After a failed first experience, Valence-Romans Drôme Rugby returned to Pro D2 this season. And it is a success, since the VRDR has already ensured its maintenance two days before the end of the regular phase. A first step for a club that seems to be large, but it is first necessary to build a workforce capable of climbing the ladder. Valence-Romans seems to be gone for this objective with the recruitment of Izzy Moore-Aoon.
-Passed by Castres Olympique this season as a medical joker (and the Saracens), this international Samoan can play all the positions of the third line. With an experience of several French and English clubs at only 25 years old. He is committed to two seasons, at the same time as another third line, Louis Suaudwho arrives from Nice to thicken the workforce.
Dicodusport’s opinion : We could not really see the qualities of the Samoan during his visit to Castres, but there is no doubt that an international Samoan will be a great addition for a club that wants to be perpetuated at high level.
Stade Montois: Raphaël Darquier sets up
There is no shortage of hopes in French rugby, and when you have it in your club, it is better to do it to keep it. International U20 that appeared three times in the last 6 nations tournament with a capital, Raphaël Darquier This season has known its first match sheet in Pro D2 this season with the Montois stadium. Almost assured of maintenance, the Landes club extends its third line by a season, which will continue its progress with its brother Nicolaswhich is already well installed in the Montois workforce.
Dicodusport’s opinion : Always a good sign when a club extends its hopes. There is no doubt that the Montois stadium imagines Raphaël Darquier as an important element of his future.
