Clermont: Anthony Belleau Signs in Northampton
You might think that with the arrival of Harry Plummer and the retirement of Benjamin Urdapilletathe ASM transfer window was closed in terms of openers. But there was necessarily going to be movement, since Anthony Belleau No longer seemed in the little Auvergne papers for several months. Nevertheless, the former international had obviously kept the coast, several clubs having inquired about him, and in particular across the Channel.
For several days, the case seemed to be heard: he would go to Northampton. But as long as nothing is signed, everything can change. The English club, which will compete in the final of the Champions Cup at the end of me, formalized this morning the arrival of the Clermont opener, which will therefore become the lining of Fin Smith. And since the latter was retained Today with the British lions for the tour, there is no doubt that Anthony Belleau will have playing time at the start of the season, and therefore an opportunity to prove yourself.
Dicodusport’s opinion : Without doubt the best possible outcome for Anthony Belleau: the best current English club, to rub shoulders with internationals in mess. If he will not hold, he was not – at least not indisputably – in Clermont, and this transfer can completely revive his career.
-Valence-Romans: Arrival of Sacha Idoumi
Valence-Romanstwo days before the end, has already completed its season in Pro D2. The VRDR can no longer play the qualification, but ensured its maintenance, when he returned to the second division of French rugby. The opportunity to launch the recruitment operation, which started with great fanfare last week with the signing of the International Samoan Izzy Moore-Aion.
Today, Valence-Romans has formalized the signing of Sacha IDumi. A player who was lent this season by La Rochelle at the Nice stadium. A loan that was to experience hope, which attended the Rochelais training center. But he will not return to Charente-Maritime, since he signed three seasons to stay in Drôme. At just 22 years old, he can still largely make his hole.
Dicodusport’s opinion : For a player who has already walked the lawn of a champions Cup match, one might think that it is a regression to play in Pro D2. But not everyone can explode at the high level. In any case, it is one more stone in the construction of a competitive workforce for the VRDR.
