After the extension of hooker Jean-Maxence Jules Rosette, USON Nevers sees two players join it for the second part of the season as first announced by our colleagues at Rugby Rama. These are the hooker Stefan Buruiana (21 years old), on loan from Castres (Top 14), and the second or third row Charlie Francoz (26 years old), without a club since his departure from Biarritz last summer.
“At the heel, we were bothered because the injury to Jonathan Maïau (with the Achilles tendon against Valence-Romans on November 8), we don’t really know where it’s going,” explains manager Xavier Péméja.
“We had an opportunity with a loan from Castres. Stefan Buruiana came to spend two or three days with us, it went well. Plus, he's Jiff. »
Romanian international (three selections), Buruiana appeared on two match sheets in the Top 14 but for only one minute played against Bordeaux on February 24, 2024. He was looking for playing time.
Charlie Francoz arrives as a medical joker for second-row Maxence Barjaud, victim of a ruptured knee ligament in Nice at the beginning of December. Anyone who can play second or third row has solid experience at the highest level: 20 Top 14 and 17 European Cup matches with La Rochelle and Stade Français, as well as 42 Pro D2 matches with Aurillac and Biarritz, these two. recent seasons.
“Francoz is a player with experience, who can also play in the third line. We looked at him following Maxence Barjaud's injury, so he mainly arrives to play in 4,” announces Xavier Péméja.
