Union Bordeaux-Bègles intends to continue to strengthen itself to achieve its objectives. Already well-stocked with an attacking line made in XV de France, the Girondin club would have its sights on two other internationals: the second row Posolo Tuilagi and the hooker Gaëtan Barlot.
RUGBY. Ambitious in its recruitment, the UBB could well attract the colossus Tuilagi into its netsPosolo Tuilagi, 20 years old and 5 selections with the XV of France, has caused a sensation since his debut with Perpignan. With his impressive size and his qualities of power, he attracts the covetousness of the big teams of the Top 14.
But that’s not all. According to South WestGaëtan Barlot, international hooker for Castres Olympique (9 selections), would also be on the Bordeaux tablets. An interest that does not date from yesterday, but which is visibly still ardent.
At 27, Barlot has established himself as one of the best in his position in France. Capable of energizing the forwards like few others, he represents an asset to any ambitious team.
However, Castres does not intend to easily part with its hooker, who has been extended until 2025. But the temptation to join a project as ambitious as that of UBB could weigh in the balance. A situation to monitor closely.
The Bordeaux club has already made some great signings in recent years. But with Tuilagi and Barlot, UBB would strike a big blow. Enough to continue to assert its ambitions for the Top 14 title.
The transfer market is still very lively, and UBB intends to play a leading role. Girondins supporters can expect a few more surprises.
