Clearly, Stade Toulousain is not idle on the transfer market. After announcing the signing of La Rochelle right pillar George-Henri Colombe, the Stadium recently extended one of its squad members.
The absolute priority was therefore on the right of the scrum, perhaps the only weak point of the Red and Black. Dorian Aldegheri’s recent performances, particularly in Castres, may have left supporters wanting more. Problem resolved with the signing of Colombe, 6 selections with the France team.

Numerous contract purposes
Another challenge of the Toulouse transfer window, numerous end of contracts in the workforce: Jack Willis, Richie Arnold, Santiago Chocobares, Pierre-Louis Barassi… so many files to manage for Hauts-Garonnais leaders.
One of them, probably the most urgent, was quickly resolved, this being the Jack Willis case. The Englishman, who for a time hesitated to return to the country to have a chance to play again with the XV de la Rose, therefore chose to stay in France.
According to Midi Olympique, an oral agreement has been reached and the third row will extend his contract for four additional seasons. A strong choice in his career since this signing will take him beyond the 2027 World Cup. We then understand that the player has given up, at least temporarily, on wearing the colors of the national team.
This extension comes after three other signings on the Toulouse side. Indeed, Emmanuel Meafou, Alexandre Roumat and Paul Graou have all extended their contract for the long term. Perfect management of contract ends which demonstrates the desire of managers and staff to work with a stable group.
After the failure of the Yoram Moefana case, Stade Toulousain is officially looking for a versatile three-quarter. We will also have to find a way out of the case of Nepo Laulala, who is seriously injured and who may no longer wear the colors of the Red and Black. Finally, internally, optimism is in order for the extensions of Ange Capuozzo and Santiago Chocobares.
