In football, it has now been 3 years since each offseason, PSG star Kylian Mbappé has been announced to Real Madrid. Finally, the legendary Madrid club recently made the choice to no longer force itself to secure the services of the French phenomenon.
Rugby. Top 14. Melvyn Jaminet returning to Perpignan? The rumor spread
On the other side of the fence, in our rugby microcosm, the idea of “Melvyn Jaminet in Toulon” has also been hovering above the Top 14 for a while. So to speak, this has continued since 2021, while the 24-year-old fullback still playing in ProD2, for USAP. At the time, the first contacts took place between the RCT and the one who had been trained in its rugby school, before not being retained, when moving to Crabos, in 2015.

The native of Hyères then spent a season with the Gapeau juniors, before heading to Hyères the following year, then knocking on the door of the first team, which played in Fédérale 1. Talented as can be but still physically frail to rub shoulders with the “dads” of the elite at the federal level, the manager of the RCHCC Greg Le Corvec had helped him to join the training center of the professional club, namely the USAP, where he had kept very good contacts having spent most of his career there. The hope of becoming a professional was then reborn, here, for Melvyn Jaminet.
Toulon’s forcing
Eight years after his departure, the one who has 20 caps in Blue (for 218 points) could therefore return to the fold. In any case, this is what Midi Olympique announced in its edition this Monday. According to the bi-weekly, an agreement between the RCT, Jaminet and Stade Toulousain (with which it is linked until 2025) is about to be found. Something also confirmed by Var-Matin, which follows the thrush club very closely. According to them, the Toulousain would even arrive in his native Var in the coming weeks, by the end of November, after Bernard Lemaître has paid a new big check, after that for Kolbe in 2021.
EXCLUDED. TRANSFER. Collazo, laid off at Brive, should be replaced by an international coach!
Competition from Thomas Ramos, as a bonus, but also the injuries which slowed down his adaptation, the back and forth in Blue and a mayonnaise (or an aioli) which never really took hold are the main reasons. Even if, the desire to return home to his loved ones and the emoluments that would be promised to him (there was talk, for a time, of a doubling of salary) also had weight on the scales.

The fact is that, according to what is announced here and there, Dylan’s big brother will therefore try to relaunch his career in Toulon. Or at least to give it continuity, after a thunderous 2021/2022 season, which ultimately did not deliver, in Haute-Garonne. After just 15 months spent at Ernest-Wallon, the international-class gunner (267 points in 31 Top 14 matches) should therefore return to the shores of the Mediterranean, later this month.
To regain confidence and pleasure on the field. But also try to regain the position of full-back in the French team. The one he occupied 12 times consecutively between July 2021 and 2022. With a Grand Slam up for grabs…
