Clermont finalizes the file for No. 10

After the refusal of a second offer from George Ford, the Englishman being the first priority candidate for the No. 10 position, Clermont revised its plans. At the time of Rugby mentioned that the Harry Plummer track, a time after having cooled, had regained thickness in the hours following George Ford’s decision.

As indicated by Rugbyrama, and thatAt the time of Rugby can confirm, the New Zealander Harry Plummer (26 years old; 1 selection) has given his agreement to join Auvergne next season. All that remains is to finalize the last details with the Blues province.

It’s OK for Hervé and Briatte

Also looking for a No. 10 JIFF, Clermont will attract Toulonnais Enzo Hervé into its net. The latter had an optional year in his contract at the RCT, but was ultimately seduced by the project and the discussions coming from Auvergne according to our information.

As revealed by At the time of Rugby last November 8, the CV of 3^e line of the Stade Français, Romain Briatte (31 years old; 1 selection), at the end of his contract, landed on the desk of the management of the Auvergne club.

Yato file in Perpignan

Clermont will lose Pecely Yato. Rugby Prime revealed at the beginning of November advanced discussions between the 31-year-old Fijian third line, who arrived in Auvergne in 2012, and Perpignan. The Independent reported on Monday that Yato had accepted Usap’s 2-year offer.

Quid de Lanen et Fischer?

If Clermont has extended its manager Christophe Urios until 2027 (with an optional season), he must deal with many players at the end of their contract. As At the time of Rugby revealed, second row Thibaud Lanen is very popular in Bordeaux. The ASM would very much like to keep him, Urios wanting to make him a base man, but it looks tight given the attractiveness of the UBB.

Another element in Bordeaux’s sights: Alexandre Fischer. An excellent player, the 3rd line, certainly not spared from problems, would be seen as a nice pick. He would also join Damian Penaud with whom he gets along very well. The trend would be towards a departure.

Rob Simmons, Bautista Delguy, Pita Gus Sowakula (who has indicated his desire to stay), Joris Jurand, Anthony Belleau, Fritz Lee and Folau Fainga’a are also at the end of their contract.
