As an aside the reason there are tolls in France as there is no road tax, and registration is a one off fee when you buy a car.

Its probably the only tax we don't have here.

So a shit load of trucks pass through France, and they have to pay for the roads somehow so they have tolls its pretty fair you don't use you don't pay. I have to say as well the motorways that are tolled tend to be kept in excellent condition and have a shit load of facilities.

Fair enough. But if you can avoid their roads the better.
Watch out for Switzerland too. Not tolled but you need to have a sticker of your windscreen to be on the motorways and you can only buy a 12 month version (about 90 euro) even if just passing through in a day. Austria has a similar system but you can buy 10 day stickers cheap.

An expensive mistake by DC as he has lost his Land Rover sponsorship.

Colin Slade has re-signed with Pau until 2020.

Edit: just read on twitter that:

• Conrad Smith has also re-signed for one year (2018)
• Jamie McKintosh has his contract extended until 2019
• Benson Stanley is moving from Clermont to Pau

Yeah that's been on their website for a week. What's interesting is that they are desperately assuring everyone that Simon Manix is going nowhere. Smoke and fire anyone?

Weeks are 3 days in France?

@Stargazer it wasn't a dig mate sorry! Just I saw it last week when trying to see if there were any tickets available for when I'm down there.

I thought the article where they were insisting Manix was there for the long term was interesting. Seemed like they were really trying to reassure someone. Maybe the players who knows.

Colin Slade has extended his gig with Pau for another 3 seasons

@Crucial Already posted 9 days ago, just as the re-signing of Conrad Smith, Jamie McKintosh and the signing of Benson Stanley (see previous page). The Stuff website apparently received this news by pigeon mail.

Reports that Stade and Racing will merge into one club for next year.
