The story could have ended on another note. Lighter, happier, less rainy, too. Bryce Heem’s last minutes in the Toulon jersey took place at the Brive Stadium on Saturday night.

Crouching, his hands on the lawn, thoughtful and probably frustrated, the rear of the RCT was thinking of the return trip by plane, that same evening, and of the longer one that must bring him back to the land of the long white cloud on Monday.
