Once again, my thanks Robespierre, for these updates. I like being able to keep half an eye on things the other side of La Manche

Yes thank you - I don’t profess to follow French Rugby but this is always interesting and enlightening.
You mention Dupont - will his switch to 7s for the Olympics mean he will be unavailable for Toulouse from a certain date?

Take a look at this audacious try by French hooker Pierre Bougarit (careful with the pronunciation!) for La Rochelle against Perpignan:

Re: French rugby 2023/24
Yes, a good side, with a new head coach this season, Yannick Bru (former France and Toulouse hooker and forwards coach with the French XV). Damian Penaud joined them from Clermont in the close season and is one of the best wings in the world today.Robespierre wrote: ↑Wed Dec 20, 2023 9:40 am Back to the serious stuff this weekend with round 10 of the Top14.

My optimism might be tempered with the news that France’s outstanding No8, Gregory Alldritt will resume playing in early January.
