At 31, Thomas, who has 28 caps with the French XV, but has not worn the blue jersey since 2021, will experience the fourth club of his career, after Biarritz (2012-2014), Racing 92 (2014 -2022), La Rochelle, where he decided not to extend his contract, and therefore Toulouse, where his arrival will inevitably shake up the hierarchy in the back lines and should be compensated by a departure. A priori, Santiago Chocobares (25 years old), would not be concerned, although he reaches the end of his contract at the end of the season. The Haut-Garonne club is counting on the Argentinian for next year.

On the other hand, winger Setareki Bituniyata and center Pierre-Louis Barassi – a position occupied by Teddy Thomas since the start of the season in La Rochelle –, two players also at the end of their contract at the end of the season, could be put in the balance .
