My ex-cousin in-law (long story, french) used to play for CASG, just pinged him there on facebook about this, he hadn't heard.Grumpy Old Man wrote:According to reports from France and Gavin Mortimer.

Does that not mess up the top13? Or maybe the Pro D2?
Re: Stade and Racing Metro to merge
Grenoble in 13th will no longer be automatically relegated, instead will face a playoff v the side who loses the Pro D2 playoff final apparently. Pro D2 1st and winner of 2nd-5th playoff still go up as normal, Bayonne in 14th still go down.johng wrote:Does that not mess up the top13? Or maybe the Pro D2?

Re: Stade and Racing Metro to merge
as pointed out theyve both won leagues last couple of years, would be like Sarries and Quinns merging, dont see the point other than megalomania and profiteering on behalf of owners, puts a lot of quality players on the transfer market too, also half the staff in general at both clubs to lose their jobs
Retired from babbling. Can be found on twittter @okeeffesimon

I think you've just identified the point!

You've only to look at the difficulties Munster on their own had with their two centre problem (Limerick /Cork).
Mirror, Mirror on the Wall who's the greatest player of them all? It is Drico your majesty.

Re: Stade and Racing Metro to merge
I don't think Munster would be up for merging with us. The politics of it would mean they'd have to split training between here and Limerick and a professional organisation wouldn't allow that to happen.
Re: Stade and Racing Metro to merge
Fairly sure there is only PSG in Ligue 1 in football - its a Paris thing more than a rugby thing. Seems mad to do it now - when they nearly have two new stadia - would have assumed they would need some approval for this?Flash Gordon wrote:I think you've just identified the point!

PSG is itself an amalgamated (and subsequently divided) club
