Toulon. Arthur Bonneval (Toulouse) is still discussing…
According Noon OlympicToulon is still in negotiations with the Stade Toulousain winger, Arthur Bonneval (27 years old), at the end of the contract in the Pink City and who will therefore be free this summer. Son of the former international Erik Bonneval, he has played 11 games this season, in all competitions, including 9 as a starter. Last November, two other Top 14 clubs, looking for wingers, were also in its ranks: the French Stadium et Bordeaux-Bègles. It remains to be seen where Arthur Bonneval will land this summer.
…Gervais Cordin pushed out?
The arrival of Arthur Bonneval at Toulon could coincide with the departure of Gervais Cordin (23 years old), because places are expensive in the three-quarter line of the RCT. Thus, the former winger or back from Grenoble, faced with competition and a lack of playing time on the Rade in recent months, could benefit from an exit voucher. The native of Dijon, trained in Nuits-Saint-Georges (Côte-d’Or), should not lack solicitations this summer.
Castres recruits a young talent from RC Auch (National 2)
The Castres club, managed by the Gersois Pierre-Henry Broncan, who went through Auch as a player then a coach, kept his sights on his former fire club FCA, which has since become RCA. An Auscitain club which validated its accession to National 2 this season, thanks to several young talents, including Loïs Guerois-Galisson (20 years old), who played 23 games including 19 as a starter (1 try). A nugget that caught the eye of Pierre-Henry Broncan, who has just recruited him from Castres.
Presented as a second or even a third line, he will land in the Tarn to evolve as… left pillar. Indeed, according to our information, this beautiful baby (1.91 m; 118 kg) from Manthelan (Indre-et-Loire) and passed by the US Tours, will be repositioned in a new position that he discovered this season with the RCA (2 tenures as left pillar). We can only wish him the same trajectory as the French internationals Antoine Dupont et Anthony Jelonchtrained in Auch before hatching at the highest level in Castres.
Clermont. The pillar Thomas Laclayat (Oyonnax) in the viewfinder
In search of a right pillar to compensate for the departure of Sipili Falatea at UBB, Clermont would have set his sights on the player from Oyonnax, Thomas Laclayat (24 years old), according to information from The mountain. Part of the workforce for three seasons (89 games including 43 starts and 8 tries), he would be one of the priorities of Auvergne recruitment. Clermont will still have to negotiate with the USO, since the player is still under contract until 2023 in Ain. Revelation of Pro D2, he was the author of a fantastic test of 50 meters in the semi-final against Bayonne.
Bayonne. 8 young people leave the club
Bayonne (Pro D2) announced the departure of several young people from the club: the winger William Mouth (22 years old), international France 7, the third line and the Spanish pillar Alex Saleta (21 years old) and Iker Aduriz (21 years old) who commit to Saint-Jean-de-Luz (National 2), the winger Sebastien Villacampa (22 years old) who joins Tyrosse (National 2), the opening half Nolan Decap (19 years old), recruited by Nevers (Pro D2), the third line Enzo Labadie (21 years old) and the Italian second row Luigi Ostoni (20 years) as well as Flavien Trabesse (20 ans).
Nice. Bolgashvili dismissed, staff upset
According Noon Olympicle Nice Stadium (National 1) dismissed its Georgian manager David Bolgashvili, following the elimination of the Azureans in the play-off against Valence-Romans. To replace him, several names are mentioned, such as the former flanker of the XV of France and ex-coach of France U20, Olivier Magneas well as Suresnois Alexandre Compan et Arnaud Vercruysse. But the most serious candidate seems to be the former professional fly-half of Lyon, Jonathan Wisniewski.
