Shaun Foley and Dewet Roos has been signed by Narbonne as well as Julian Huxley for next year. It is the team where Bob Dwyer has some shares.

Julian Huxley has apparently signed a contract with Narbonne in French second division

The team where Gene Fairbanks will sign in Japan is Kintetsu Liners. Apparently they have hired Tom Hockings as well

That is what I was thinking but unfortunately some French clubs are pretty blind when it comes to find some players abroad

There might be a Brumbies overseas group in Grenoble as it has been reported that Henry Vanderglas will play there next year as well as Ben Hand et Anthony Hegarty

If Toulon wins the Challenge Cup, then the 7th of the Top 14 is qualified -> Stade Français playing the H Cup If Biarritz wins, it will play the H Cup and Stade Français will play the Amlin

It is slowing changing... H Cup is now becoming really important, especially the play offs. Clermont and Toulouse and building teams to win both competitions. But it is true that the Amlin Cup is not important, only to "save" a season like for Biarritz this year.

True but the situation was worse than McKenzie's one as the SF got no money. Link had cash to hire guys like James Haskell or Mark Gasnier

He is talented but he was unlucky in Paris. He came when the team was almost broke and he had no opportunity to hire quality players. I think he did great regarding the squad he had.

Only one challenge cup final with Paris but he failed to reach the play offs the two seasons he was coach. One H Cup with Leinster but he also build the group who is know walking above European rugby.

Michael Cheika has just been fired by the Stade Francais So player hopes of having him as a coach can be true. http://www.lequipe.fr/Rugby/Actualites/Cheika-limoge/283812

I read that Matt Giteau was sounded to do a short spell with the Brumbies. I believe it is impossible because this week end Toulon is finishing the regular season and the play off are starting on may the 28th. Toulon has a really strong team which can won the Top 14 this year so I doubt that...

He was supposed to sign with Racing Metro 92 but during the official announcement no words about Richard Kingi. Next year Racing will have three scrum halves so no need of him I believe.

No words about a potential move here in France All the best Top 14 teams with money already have many scrum halves It is just negociation... I can't see him leaving Australian one year before the Lions Tour

True... but it won't be the first time french clubs would hire guys that just come for the paycheck from NZ...

Yep that is true... That what makes most of the Top 14 too annoying for me and makes me watch Super Rugby

Two weeks ago Ben Lucas was in a short list of possible scrum halves who have been approched by Perpignan, with Dewald Duvenage and Piri Weepu. Still waiting for an official confirmation.

Someone know where James Ambrosini is playing? He will officially play for Benetton Trevise next year and the objective is making him the new Italy fly half

Starting XV: 1. Ben Alexander 2. Stephen Moore 3. Dan Palmer 4. James Horwill 5. Nathan Sharpe 6. Ben Mowen 7. David Pocock 8. Scott Higginbotham 9. Will Genia 10. James O'Connor 11. Digby Ioane 12. Christian Lealifano 13. Adam Ashley Cooper 14. Pat McCabe 15. Kurtley Beale Reserves: 16...

I post it here cause it is the last place where he played! Afusipa Taumoepeau juste arrived in France to play for Pau in second division. I believe he has a injury replacement contrat. Pau is a challenger to win the promotion in Top 14 next year.
