With Luka Plataret, Federico Lavanini (brother of Tomas) and the extension of Tartas, Colomiers Rugby is gradually drawing up what will be its forward package next season.
On a sporting level, Colomiers rugby resumed the competition perfectly, with this victory in Drôme, against Valence-Romans (24-29) this Friday. A way to place yourself at best, in seventh place, 6 points from the top 6.
But behind the scenes, the Columérins leaders are not idle. As announced by our colleagues from Dauphiné, Neversois Luka Plataret, in search of a new challenge, has chosen to join Haute-Garonne. The 25-year-old third line, a confirmed member of this division, has agreed to a three-year contract with La Colombe, thus renouncing advances from the BO.
With the departures of Janse Roux to Brive, and Jack Whetton, released at the end of the season, the need for a number 5 was pressing. This is why, according to our information, Colomiers rugby has approached Federico Lavanini, brother of international Tomas, who plays in Lyon. Federico Lavanini has given his agreement for two years to Colomiers rugby. There he will meet his compatriot Joaquin De La Vega, whom he worked with the Pampas (Argentine franchise playing in Super Rugby Americas) and in the selection during the Pumas pre-2023 World Cup gathering.
Several elements already well established in the workforce should also extend their lease. This is the case of Guillaume Tartas, who this Thursday gave his agreement for a three-year extension. The left pillar (28 years old) has become a key player for La Colombe, with constant progress in the game and in closed scrums. And its counterpart on the right could quickly follow. To be continued…
De La Vega: two weeks off after his knockout.
The images may have been shocking. This Friday evening in Valencia, Joaquin De La Vega was violently hit in the head by a tackle from Mosese Mawalu. A shock which completely unbalanced him and knocked him out. Two days after the shock, and on the eve of more in-depth examinations with specialists, it was decided that he would be put on rest for two weeks. Which means that he will not take part in the rest of this block, and will apply for the reception in Grenoble on February 7. Brett Herron, back on his feet, Max Auriac and Ugo Pacome are the players who can replace him at the opening.
