Kurtley Beale has landed a two-year deal in France - reports
By Online Editors
Kurtley Beale will join Racing 92 on a two-year deal from next July, according to French sports daily L'Equipe. The 31-year-old Australian international is currently with the Waratahs, whom he joined after a stint in 2016/17 with Wasps, the English Premiership side.
The 92-cap Wallaby, who has played in three World Cups, offers backline versatility and a nose for scoring. His arrival in Paris will offset the club’s loss of Brice Dulin, who is bound for La Rochelle ar the end of the currently suspended season.
With France still in lockdown in the fight against the spread of coronavirus, French club presidents reportedly held a two-hour videoconference on Wednesday evening at which it was suggested the Top 14 final could be rescheduled for July 18 if the delayed championship manages to restart in late May or early June.
According to rugbyrama.fr, it’s believed the Ligue National de Rugby have provisionally booked the Stade de France to hold the showpiece in mid-July.
It has also allegedly been agreed that relegation won’t happen from the league, resulting in a 16-team top flight next season with the inclusion of Colomiers and Perpignan, the current top two in the Pro D2.

Yes, I agree, following this logic a Black Fern should’ve won it.
I haven’t followed enough the women’s 7s to state if there wasn’t too many BF players who were sharing the performances, while in the Australian team just one player outshone the others. Just like Savea’s win last year, with too many SA players having great performances.
What might have cost Argentina 7s at least a nomination or the title was that their best player Moneta got injured at the worst moment of the season.
Go to comments9.5 for BB? Show some respect to Italy & one would have to go back a decade to even consider such a BB performance.
DMac should be 10 with Roigard who gets to the ruck & plays with speed. For me, when those two are paired, we look threatening. Cortez should be dropped out of ABs & we blood others.
The 12 & 13 is very lost. Caleb certainly grew as a player this year showing a different dimensions in play & wiser decisions. I'd say he has a better ability to adjust to Centre. Reiko is lost & non-effective.
9.5 for BB 🤣🫢🤣 - the ABs need to move past him. He is & always will be at most a bench player. When he had the reins at 10 for RWC & more, he did nothing. This includes Super as well. Mo'unga had his measure all the time. I get tired of constant loyalty. Give those performing a go, as you have in various forwards & see them shine.
We need to use the squads of ABs & ABs XV in tandem to build nice depth is the Boks do
