Ex Bulls winger Madosh Tambwe to stay in France - report
By Ian Cameron
Former Bulls winger Madosh Tambwe is likely to stay with Union Bordeaux-Bègles (UBB) despite interest from several top clubs like Clermont Toulon and La Rochelle - according to Midi Olympique.
UBB's president Laurent Marti now shows a preference for keeping the Congolese player within the team's ranks a notable shift from earlier stances considering UBB's depth in the winger position - with players like Louis Bielle-Biarrey, Damian Penaud. Pablo Uberti and rookie Maël Moustin.
Indeed Tambwe's future at UBB seemed uncertain, especially with the potential arrival of promising talent Enzo Reybier from Oyonnax. The club initially appeared reluctant to renew his contract due to regulations favouring domestically trained players. Yet Tambwe's exceptional performances particularly against Toulon in a historic victory for UBB at Mayol have tipped the scales in his favor.
Despite the allure of playing for other leading teams in the Top 14 and having explored options like visiting La Rochelle's facilities and receiving an offer from Clermont Tambwe's prospects of remaining with UBB have significantly improved. His recent on-field achievements have underscored his value to the team at a time when bolstering the winger position seems prudent.
Complicating matters Tambwe recently underwent surgery for a broken hand leaving him sidelined for at least three weeks. This development will see him miss the upcoming game against Castres a setback for the team. Nevertheless the decision to extend his contract with UBB despite the competitive interest from other clubs and his current injury reflects the high regard in which he is held and the strategic importance of retaining key talent for future competitions.

Agreed. And I don't have much more to say on it, but I had been having one thought that sprang to mind at the tail of this discussion, and that is that it's not all about Razor.
It's not about any coach being "right". I think a lot of selections can become defense and while it doesn't really apply here I really enjoyed that Andy Farrell just gave into the public demands and changed out his team for the change that had been asked for. Like why not? This is the countries team, keep them engaged. The whole reason i've only just finished watching the game was because I wasn't interested in watching any of the selected players against a team like Italy (still actually enjoyed the first half with the contest Italy made of it).
Faz leap frogs a younger half back into start. He hands the golden child the game over July's golden child. He gives an old winger a go, a new flanker and hooker. None of them really did any good, certainly not enough to suggest they should have been promoted above others, but who cares? You won, and you gave the country what they wanted, that's all that matters after all. It's for the country, not the one in charge who thinks they have to have their own pied piper tune playing.

It was not perfect and at times frustrating. All 3 tests were not the best by the Boks and they still found ways to win.
Rassie would have noted the sloppyness at times and silly mistakes. The 9's made amateur handling mistakes when clearing the rucks in all 3 tests.
Once the "stupid" mistakes are eliminated, this Bok team will be very very hard to beat.
