La Rochelle: Castres and Vannes track Brice Dulin
Where will play Brice Dulin next season? At 34, the international fullback with 37 caps with the XV of France reaches the end of the contract La Rochellewhere he arrived in 2020. For the moment, the trend would not be towards an extension of the lease, the fault of the recorded arrival of the Georgian Davit Niniashvili (22 years old) from LOU. Thus, the former player of Racing 92 no shortage of options in the event of a confirmed departure.
Indeed, according to the Olympic Midday, Valves et Castres are on the lookout to recruit Brice Dulin. But the Breton club, whose future is darkening week after week in Top 14leaves a good length of delay. Thus, the COa club that knows well A parasite having evolved there between 2012 and 2014, Bouclier de Brennus as a bonus in 2013, has already advanced its pawns. It remains to be seen whether other elite teams will come forward soon. To be continued.
Dicodusport's review : At 34 years old, Brice Dulin remains one of the best players in his position in the Top 14. If he is not returned to La Rochelle, the club which will welcome him next summer will achieve a nice coup, for a motivated player for a final challenge. Castres, which holds the rope, would be the perfect base, he who was born not far from there, in Agen.
Toulouse: Setareki Bituniyata will join Provence Rugby
Setareki Bituniyata has found a new base for next season. At 29 years old, the Fijian winger/center is reaching the end of his contract at Toulouse Stadium next June. Arriving in 2023 as a World Cup joker, the former Briviste had obtained a one-season extension in the Pink Citythanks to quality performances (three tries in fifteen matches). But the arrival next summer of Teddy Thomas from La Rochelle, as well as the very probable extension of Pierre-Louis Barassiwill logically push him towards the exit.
Thus, according to the Olympic Midday, Provence Rugby managed to convince Setareki Bituniyata to join Maurice-David. The Provençaux, more ambitious than ever and still looking to climb into the Top 14, offered the former 7s international a contract for several seasons with the Fiji. Another nice blow for the Provençal team.
Dicodusport's review : A spectacular player with the ball in hand, Setareki Bituniyata was very popular. Not extended in Toulouse, it was ultimately Provence Rugby, ambitious as can be, which won the day. The Fijian could wreak havoc on the artificial turf at the Maurice-David stadium. Good news for the show!
England: Max Malins (Bristol) soon in France?
According to Rugby Passa new England international could join France next summer. In fact, the rear of the Bristol Bears, Max Malins (27 years old), would be on the shelves of several French teams. At the end of his contract in the southwest of England, the player with 22 caps with the XV of the Rose should not extend within his current club.
Currently injured, he should not be able to play again for many months. Still, the CV of Max Malins currently circulating in France. It remains to be seen which clubs are interested in the profile of one of the best full-backs in the Premeirship.
Dicodusport's review : The exodus continues. Far from being the number one choice for his position in England, Max Malins would provide many services to a lot of teams in France, Top 14 and Pro D2 combined. To be continued.
