Montpellier recruits all blacks

Extra famous player in the top 14! New Zealand international winger (or linebacker) George Bridge, 27, will join the French champions Montpellier’s squad from November, and he has been registered until June 2025. The information was officially announced on Friday by the Ministry of Human Rights. He arrived as an extra player to make up for the absence of Arthur Vincent (23 years, 14 games in blue, 1 attempt), who relapsed from a cruciate ligament injury in his left knee at the end of September and thus could miss the entire season. . “We are very proud to welcome Georges among us,” said Philippe Saint-Andre, Director of MHR. “I am delighted to sign a contract with a club that has achieved the success and prestige of Montpellier recently. I can’t wait to bring to the club the experience I was able to have with the Crusaders and all the Blacks,” the New Zealand winger cheered on.

Play Bridge World Cup 2019

It will be a first in the Northern Hemisphere for George Bridge, who has played the New Zealand Regional Championship since 2016 with Canterbury and Super Rugby since 2017 with the Crusaders, winning the titles in 2017, 2018 and 2019. Upon leaving for Europe, the winger will postpone his international career and thus draw a line under participation in the 2023 World Cup. George Bridge started with the All Blacks in 2018 and wore the black jersey 19 times (12 attempts), notably during the 2019 World Cup in Japan, where he started four matches (including the half he lost to England). On the other hand, we haven’t seen him with the All Blacks since the defeat to France at the Stade de France on November 20. The winger is currently in the middle of qualifying for the New Zealand Regional Championship, of which he will play the semi-finals on Saturday with Canterbury against Bay of Plenty, pending a possible final the following Saturday. It’s time for the jump in Europe.
