For several days, rumors have been growing around Ox Nché, the solid pillar of the Springboks, world champion in 2023. At 29 years old, with his impressive size (1m76, 123 kg), he would be in the sights of several Top 14 clubs.
An arrival in France? Some media are already talking about it. But what does the main person concerned say about it?

I asked my agent, I saw the articles that came out. I asked my agent, and he told me that he would take care of everything.” he confided.
Speculation about a potential transfer therefore seems, for the moment, unfounded.”To my knowledge, I have not heard from them. There has been no offer or discussion.” he added.
According to Nché, it would rather be a matter of media buzz: “These are probably people trying to get their newspapers read..”

However, in modern rugby, a transfer can quickly materialize. If a Top 14 club really shows interest, the door does not seem to be completely closed. But for now, Ox is letting his agent handle the situation. So, should we really hope to see Nché land on the French pitches?
