Returning from injury to face Lyon on Saturday (4:30 p.m., 5th day of Top 14), Tawera Kerr-Barlow spoke about her future on the sidelines of the pre-match press conference. The All Black scrum half from La Rochelle hopes to continue his career in France. He will be 35 years old in the summer of 2025.
This is a high-sounding name that could well shake up the new market even further. At the end of the contract in 2025 with Stade Rochelais, Dave Kerr-Barlow demonstrated this Thursday afternoon his desire to continue his career in Top 14. Without, however, excluding the possibility of an extension of its current lease.
« If this is my last season in La Rochelle? Yes, I think so. If an extension is an option? I’m not the right person to talk to. What if I’m going to stop my career? No. I will continue, of course. In New Zealand? In Top 14! », replied the scrum half, questioned on the sidelines of the press conference before the reception of Lyon, opponent against whom the 34-year-old All Black (28 caps) will make his return from a torn thigh contracted during the 1era championship day.
