Clovis Le Bail, 29 -year -old melee, chose to leave the Racing 92 To join the Toulon Rugby Club. In search of playing time and a new breath, he signed up for three seasons with the Var club. A transfer that could well turn up the hierarchy of melee demis in Toulon.
A discreet end of adventure at Racing 92
Despite promising beginnings, Clovis the lease never managed to win in Racing 92. With only 12 apparitions This season, including three tenure, he has often been relegated to the bench behind Nolan Le Garrec.
However, the announced departure of the latter to La Rochelle at the end of the season could have opened up opportunities. But the choice of the club to recruit Léo Carbonneaua promising young melee half, pushed the lease to turn to a new challenge.
An arrival that upsets Toulon's plans
Clovis' commitment the lease with Toulon does not go unnoticed, especially since the club already has three half -controls under contract: Cool, Ben White et Jules Danglot. If Serin, essential, remains the natural leader of the position, the arrival of Le Bail could redistribute the cards for the other two.
Jules Danglot, often in need of playing time, could consider a departure. As for Ben White, regularly criticized and non-Jiff, his place could be questioned, even if his contract runs until 2026.
-A bet for Toulon and the lease
For Toulon, recruiting the lease is an interesting bet. With its status of FIF And his Top 14 experience, he brings a reliable option and a certain versatility. However, he will quickly convince in an environment where expectations are always very high. For the lease, it is a real opportunity to relaunch a career that seemed to stagnate in Paris.
Delicate management of the melee half position
With now four high -level players at the same position, Toulon will have to make choices. Competition could push some to leave, especially since the club also seeks to strengthen in other positions, especially in the center. This recruitment shows that Toulon is looking for depth and solutions, but it could also open the door to movements in the coming weeks.
I grew up in a family where rugby was all times. I was on the edge of the field when Castres beat Pau and joined the elite, I was in the Pierre Antoine stadium against Gary Whhetton when he did his haka to celebrate the Brennus of 1993 and I have always been rocked Legends of this sport. Now, it is with XV Ovalie that I hear prolonging the adventure. #Teamco
