Scots abroad thread: AAAAAAAHHHH
I wonder if the weeg were interested? Lamont likely to retire and with so many centres out of contract DTH offers good cover. Suspect he's cheaper than Lamont as well.
By all accounts the Scarlets fans aren't too upset about this. Does seem to have been quiet for them.
Taking skillset aside. I would not be so sure he'd be cheaper than Lamont, going by the text in the article it seems money is his motivating factor (no problem with that) so I doubt he'd have come cheaply. Lamont's last contract (signed last year?) would not have been that of a top line starter.hugh_woatmeigh wrote:I wonder if the weeg were interested?

PRESS RELEASE
January 3, 2017
New signatures of Sila Puafisi and Florian Cazenave and arrival of Ryan Grant
CA Brive is pleased to announce today the signings of the pillar Sila Puafisi and the half-scrimmage Florian Cazenave for next season.
Sila Puafisi, 28, has played in Gloucester and currently plays for the Glasgow Warriors. He has 24 selections with the team from Tonga and has participated in the last two victorious matches of the tour of November against the United States and Italy.
Florian Cazenave, 27, a USAP player from 2008 to 2014, currently plays in Italy in Reggio after an interruption of his career due to an accident. He will join the ranks of CA Brive next season for his return to the French championship.
The club is also pleased with the imminent arrival of Ryan Grant from Glasgow; He will be the medical joker of Lucas Pointud. He left Scotland for the first time, where he played 20 times for the national team and in 3 Scottish clubs: Border Reivers, Edinburgh Rugby and - the latest - the Glasgow Warriors.
Nicolas Godignon supports his choices:
" Sila Puafisi is a powerful and very tonic player. His experience at the international level will be a real plus for the team. We are very pleased that he will join us next season.
We are very pleased that Florian Cazenave will join us next season. He is an excellent player and thanks to the modification of the regulation we were able to sign it quickly.
As far as Ryan Grant is concerned, we were very pleased with the tests last week at the club and its availability is an opportunity we have seized. "

I'm keen to read the full report on that. Doesn't appear to be any head contact. Also hard to forget hibbard? Diving shoulder first on the back of Hoggs exposed neck a while back with zero sanction.Big D wrote:3 week ban for Brian Alainu'uese

Hmm, Bath have Ford and Priestland, Glous have just signed Williams so neither seem likely to me. Can't see Toloun moving on from Trim Duh just yet but Montpellier might be a destination if they only played a different style of rugby.Big D wrote:Another day another rumour of a Scottish player being bought out his contract:
Glasgow Warriors and Scotland fly-half Finn Russell is at the centre of a bidding war, with French clubs Toulon and Montpellier and English sides Bath and Gloucester prepared to spend £250,000 to buy out the final year of his contract, which ends in May 2018. (Daily Mail)
Not that I see him leaving but a couple of interesting landing spots there. He'd have to be fucking mental to go to Gloucs.
I can't see him going but Ford has activated his clause in his contract to allow him to move if he wants so it isn't definite he'll be there next year and Russell is better than Priestland. Cotter going to Montpellier might see them change the way they play.switchskier wrote:Hmm, Bath have Ford and Priestland, Glous have just signed Williams so neither seem likely to me.
