Lyon. Jonathan Wisniewski dit stop
In an interview with Olympic noon, the opening half of Lyon, Jonathan Wisniewski (35) has announced that he will end his career next June, after 17 seasons at the highest level. Passed through the Stade Toulousain, Aix-en-Provence, Castres, Colomiers, le Racing 92, Grenoble, Toulon and Lyon, this outstanding goalscorer scored nearly 3 000 points. “It was agreed for a long time with Pierre Mignoni, and I never considered questioning it. Two years ago, I had already asked myself the question, because I had known some physical problems ”reveals the person concerned at the microphone of Midi Olympique. “I can quit without regrets”.
To replace his playing master, Le LOU went in search of a world-class opener, but it won’t be English Marcus Smith (21 years old) who finally decided to extend to Harlequins, according to Daily Mail. And this, despite offers from Lyon and of Bath.
Bordeaux-Bègles. François Trinh-Duc in the viewfinder
According to Olympic noon, the international opening half of Racing 92, François Trinh-Duc (34, 66 caps), could emulate his friend and former teammate of Montpellier, Louis Picamoles, by signing at theUBB next season.
In any case, his profile would appeal to the president of the Gironde club, Laurent Marty, who would like to enlist him in order to double the position of opener and thus compensate for the absences of Matthieu Jalibert, regularly called with the XV of France, as well as the New Zealander Ben Botica who is committed to Castres. L’UBB even made a proposal to François Trinh-Duc. Available from 1is next July, the person should quickly rule on the rest of his career.
Waiting, Bordeaux-Begles temporarily repatriated the polyvalent Simon Desaubiès (21 years old), who was loaned to Mont-de-Marsan since the start of the season. He will be in Gironde for at least two months, in order to compensate for the numerous absences within the three-quarter line of the UBB.

According to Olympic noon, he is currently in full reflection on his sporting future and the Castres leaders are therefore considering his replacement for next season.
The latter would thus study the track leading to the scrum-half ofOyonnax, Charlie Cassang (26 years). Under contract until June 2022 in Haut-Bugey which he joined this summer, the former player of Clermont would however have a release voucher for a Top 14 team.
