Vakatawa replacement has already been found

Less than twenty-four hours after the shockwave of announcing the forced retirement of Virimi Vakatawa, the victim of a heart problem, Racing 92 was quick to respond to such a massive deal. Ile-de-France have already recruited Biarritz-based Frances Seilli, BO president Jean-Baptiste Aldyge, who was relegated to Pro D2 last June, confirmed. “Good luck to Frances Sayle, Alyssa Rose, Frankie and Keri (wife and kids, editor’s note) in their new phase of their lives at Race 92. I can’t wait for the Paris Derby against Lucas Peresblanc and Mathieu Hirigoyen (recruited this summer by Stade Français, note). Thank you to Jackie Lorenzetti and Laurent Travers for their responsiveness and respect to Olympic Biarritz“, the chief tweeted. According to information received from RMC SportsThe Basque club was asking for at least €400,000 for the release of Francis Sayle, whose contract runs until June 2024. So Jackie Lorenzetti, President of Racing 92, put his hand in his pocket.

48 matches with BO for Saili

At the age of 31, the New Zealand center (or winger) will make his seventh club known by joining Racing 92. Having started at home, in Auckland, North Harbor and the Blues, which earned him his All-Blacks team picks, in the summer of 2013, he joined Europe in 2015 , along with Monster. He had spent two years in Ireland, before joining the Harlequins in England. Enlisted by BO in 2020, he’s tried everything with the Basque Club: two climb to the Top 14 and go down to Pro D2. He hasn’t played in the first two days of Pro D2 this season, so his latest record in the red and white shirt is 48 games and 50 points. If he’s in the group, Frances Selly could start with Racing on Saturday at… Bayonne, the BO competitor.
