The Rugby Club Toulonnais will lose its two openers at the end of the current season.
Indeed, Louis Carbonel will join Montpellier while Anthony Belleau is committed to Clermont.
RCT scouts are currently looking for a high profile opener for the upcoming seasons. But the research promises to be tricky since the market for openers is saturated.
Could the French international scrum-half Baptiste Serin switch to the position of opener next season to help out and enter the rotation with the future opener of the RCT Ihaia West?
Asked via RugbyramaBaptiste Serin confided in the subject.
He does not hide that going to the opening a few months before the World Cup would not really be a good thing for him.
However, he will not refuse to play in this position when needed. Extract:
“By becoming an opening half again, I can put myself in danger for the World Cup. I can find myself everywhere, and nowhere at the same time. I like both posts. I was trained in 10. If the club asks me, I will. The club comes first. But, I would ask the staff of the RCT that it be by small flange to avoid that it puts me in danger for the Blues. It’s a reality. Afterwards, I can also take it as a weapon. EDF often puts 6 forwards for 2 backs on the bench. »
In the process, Baptiste Serin specifies that he has resumed penalty shootout training with a view to next season.
He hopes to be able to take the goal for the 2022/2023 season. Extract:
“I recovered a lot. I like this. I didn’t want to impose myself on goal in Toulon, because Antho Belleau and Louis Carbonel are very good against pole vault. I’m still training. Next season has not started yet, but I am aware that there is only one 10 for the time being. I have warned Max Petitjean. I hope to resume it with as much success as those who leave. »
