If Rabah Slimani gave priority to Leinster despite the interest of Racing 92, the Ile-de-France club is not letting itself be discouraged on the transfer market.
It must be said that the performances of Ciel et Blanc are very far from living up to the team's potential. If Kolingar and Habosi will extend according to information from Midi Olympique, the recent additions have so far not really lived up to the investments.
Racing 92 eyes a Wallaby
We think here of Kolisi, Tuisova or even Owen Farrell. But this does not seem to cool down the Ile-de-France leaders. Which continue to explore the different championships to find the rare pearl. Or at least to add more talent to the group.
Latest target, Rob Leota. At 27 years old, the Australian third row has never left the Island Continent. After spending the majority of his career with the Rebels, he will play the next Super Rugby season in the colors of the Waratahs.
Before trying why not try the adventure abroad? For now, his contract only covers the year 2025. Will he treat himself to a freelance job in Europe just before the World Cup which will take place in 2027 in Australia?
-A real career choice
Selected 21 times, he could be part of the group for the World Cup as was the case in 2023 in France. He was not selected last summer by Joe Schmidt due to an injury. And made no appearances for the Wallabies in 2024.
Is he still part of the New Zealander's plans? The question deserves to be asked. Racing 92's interest in this powerful player (190 cm, 110 kg) could work in his favor. Versatile in the second line as well and in all positions of the thirdthe former captain of the Rebels is undoubtedly at a turning point in his career.
Le Midi Olympique informs us that a video took place between the different parties. But we imagine that Leota will wait to make a decision. As a reminder, Australia will host the British and Irish Lions this summer. A meeting he probably doesn't want to miss. Provided you are selected.
