<p>No perverse pleasure for me, i just want to inform you. I'm bored of all those foreign players coming in France, there is no identity in our clubs and the level isn't better so now i watch only 1 or 2 games per week when i watched 4 or 5 before.</p>
<p> </p>
<p>I really hope rugby in NZ won't become as it is in France now.</p>

<p>Has this been confirmed officially by the club? Or is this still in the "rumour" phase?</p>
<p> </p>
<p>It's a bit premature to assume Faumuina will still be selected for the All Blacks if he's leaving the country straight after the Lions tour.</p>

<p>The club won't confirm anything "officially" before 2017 but the newspaper La Dépêche is very close to the club so the news come from somebody working for Stade Toulousain. </p>
