Top 14: le pilier des All Blacks Laulala vers le Stade Toulousain

[Bovidae]

@jauzy019 Before or after the RWC?

[jauzy019]

@Bovidae after is he's selected

(otherwise before)

He will replace Charlie Faumuina who should retire at the end of the current season.

[Stargazer]

From that French article:

Car selon nos informations, son compatriote Nepo Laulala est en discussions avancées pour évoluer au Stade Toulousain dès la saison prochaine.

So it's an unconfirmed rumour and he's still in negotiation with Toulouse (and hasn't signed yet).
Doesn't mean it's not true or that he won't sign, but it's not a done deal just yet.

Oh thank god. Unbelievable he's played so many tests.

Hate to see guys leave, but he never lived up to the hopes we had.

He's going to leave after, he's that age. Any links

Of happiness I hope

[Grooter]

@Yeetyaah best playing days are obviously behind him but I must say Bridgey & Tim Bateman probably left the best impression on me when i got to meet a few of the Crusaders boys a few yrs back

[Stargazer]

According to French media, the Chiefs showed interest in Bridge, but he prefers to go overseas.

Mitch Brown

Not exactly one of the highest profile players. I had to google him to see if it was who I thought it was. A bit part player at lock for the Chiefs for about 7 years and indeed it is him.

@Stargazer Wonder what New Zealand international means and did he actually play any games, let alone start, for the Hurricanes?

[ARHS]

@Higgins He played very well for them and for BOP.
