He could be playing Top14 next season because his club Vannes will be among the favourites for promotion.
I hope so for his sake, he's looked good enough to be a starting 8 at a top 6 club in the Top14 or Prem in this test series IMO

Comfortable with for Argentina, very poor performance from Wales! Strength in depth is something they just don't have

Its the depth in key positions that kills them, they have plenty of depth in certain positions but other areas are severely lacking

Moriarty is such a Richard, cheap shove into the back of Moroni well after the whistle had gone

Nice to see our players doing well in their respective sides.

Agreed, would personally like to see Nadolo at 12 a bit as well
Think Moroni played once at 14 against London Irish. Would love to see:

I am prone to exaggeration at times, but could the French tour of Australia be one of the best rugby tours in recent memory? Thank you both Wallabies and Les Bleus!

Korebete red card overturned, great news! But what if France hadve won that game and the series over a decision like that?!
