REPORTS: Stade Francais sign former England flyhalf
By James Harrington
South African Meyer Bosman's rugby career looks to be on its last legs after his club, Top 14 side Stade Francais, reportedly agreed terms with former England international Shane Geraghty.
The 32-year-old Bosman last season signed a two-year contract extension that was intended to keep him at the Paris club until 2019 - but reports in France now suggest the fly-half-cum-inside-centre is on the verge of injury-induced retirement.
The exact nature of Bosman's condition remains unclear, with the rugby press merely indicating that the player has been advised to bring forward his retirement for medical reasons.
The Springbok's as-yet unconfirmed decision has prompted the club's new head coach, Greg Cooper, to find cover in the form of Geraghty - and not even the lengthy injury list that has plagued his new charge's career seems to have dampened his interest.
The six-cap Englishman, who can play in the same positions as Bosman, has spent most of his career in two stints at London Irish, but he has experience of the French game, having had a season on the books at Brive in 2011/12.
A new contract in France will go some of the way to making up for a dismal 2016/17 campaign. Geraghty made just two appearances for English Premiership basement club Bristol after being granted an early release from his contract with the Exiles six games into their Championship campaign.
Stade, the blueblood Top 14 club that was last season almost merged out of existence, has also reportedly signed loosehead Corné Fourie from Super Rugby finalists the Lions, as part of an injury-enforced rapid rebuild of its front row stocks less than a fortnight before the kick off of the new season.
Pending approval of his move from SARU, Fourie is set to shortly team up with another new front-row arrival in Paris, hooker-prop hybrid Maxime Gau, who signed on the dotted line shortly after he had negotiated the termination of his contract with La Rochelle.

I live in an unstable region, so I'm always ready for surprise curfews or my aunt dropping by uninvited to borrow some cooking oil. To protect my future from both, I swept $530,000 under the floor in Bitcoin- my emergency parachute.Well, things went downhill. Protesters filled the streets like a rowdy rave, with pepper spray in place of glow sticks. In the chaos, security personnel took my laptop and everything that wasn't bolted down. That's where I store the keys to my Bitcoin wallet. When I say I swallowed a brick, I am not kidding.I pictured myself telling my future self, who lived under a tarp, how I used to have half a million dollars but lost it since I had forgotten to encrypt my drive. "Great job, Past Me," I would be saying while heating canned beans over a candle.But fate, or possibly my guardian angel who was finally done laughing at me, intervened. During a hushed meeting with a journalist friend (we whispered like we were plotting an espionage thriller), he mentioned Tech Cyber Force Recovery. These folks were not just tech geniuses; they practically wore digital capes.I phoned, and the reassuring voice I received was so reassuring, I almost asked them to fix my love life too. They labored in their homes with the frenzy of an explosives specialist defusing a bomb. They constructed my wallet information from recovery fragments I barely remember creating. It was like magic shows where magicians extract bills from a hat, except the hat has been confiscated by the authorities.Thirteen days passed, and I received the call. My money had been returned. I was so relieved that I hugged my aunt, who naturally took the chance to request additional cooking oil.Tech Cyber Force Recovery did not just save my Bitcoin; they saved my future. And they gave me a newfound respect for proper backups and encryption. If you are in a tricky spot or just want to avoid awkward family requests during every political crisis, call them. They are the real deal and possibly part wizard, part therapist.CALL OR WHATSAPP THEM THOUGH+.1.5.6.1.7.2.6.3.6.9.7
Go to commentsI am a business woman living in the diaspora, and my desire for affection and care mirrored that of anyone else. My search for love commenced with me signing up for an online dating app, where I encountered an Asian man. Following a period of communication, he introduced me to what she described as a popular investment platform in Asia, I trusted him so much that I failed to carry out an investigation. According to him, substantial profits were being earned there, and her presentation was so compelling that it piqued my curiosity. Unbeknownst to me, I was being catfished. he provided evidence of his earnings and even sent me a watch as a token of her affection. Consequently, he gained my trust and affection, which marked the beginning of my financial losses in Bitcoin. I had complete faith in him and invested over a million US dollars. Upon recognizing the extent of my investment in this fraudulent scheme, I attempted to withdraw my profits from the investment program, as I had utilized my business capital. My requests were disregarded, and they continually requested additional funds. Frustration mounted, and my supposed partner became hostile after I ceased sending money.
