Argentina forward Guido Petti to stay at Bordeaux
By Sam Smith
Argentina loose forward Guido Petti has signed a contract extension keeping him at Bordeaux-Begles until 2025, the French club announced on Thursday.
Petti, 27, has played 27 games for the league leaders, owned by Laurent Marti, after arriving at Stade Chaban-Delmas in 2020.
“His physical and rugby qualities but also his human and leadership qualities made him one of the priorities for Laurent Marti and his staff,” they said.
Elsewhere on Thursday, Toulon announced former Bordeaux-Begles scrum-half Baptiste Serin had agreed a new deal.
The 27-year-old France scrumhalf will remain on the Mediterranean coast until 2026 and has an option for an extra season.
The three-time European Cup winners are 11th in the French top-flight after just four victories this term and last won a trophy in 2015.
“I’m very happy to continue the adventure with Toulon,” Serin said in a club statement.
“I want to rediscover the harmony with the fans and to reach our objective which will be very high during the years to come,” he added.
This weekend in the Top 14, Bordeaux-Begles host struggling Biarritz before South Africa’s Cheslin Kolbe makes his league debut as Toulon head to Montpellier.

Ben Smith you really make some good points in this article, the Springboks were not close to perfect and good still beat the All Blacks, imagine if they were as good as they were against France what a hiding the All Blacks would have gotten… maybe another Twickenham drubbing
Go to commentsIt is a good argument to keep the Rebels for one more year but also isnt this just opening the door as well for keeping them beyond 2025. If they can create some sort of financial stability in the next year and if their performances lift as they have this season then how would RA even cull them after that? It might be the most cost effective decision at this stage and perhaps many people are guilty of keeping relationships going because of the cost to decouple but then again when does that ever work out well?
