Toulouse issued a statement on Thursday regarding the disappearance on Wednesday of Medhi Narjissi, who was in South Africa with the France U18s team. The teenager went missing during a swim at Dias Beach, near the Cape of Good Hope. It was reported that the 17-year-old son of former Agen hooker Jalil Narjissi was swept out to sea by a wave.

The statement read: “Stade Toulousain learned yesterday [Wednesday] with emotion of the disappearance at sea of Medhi Narjissi, traveling in South Africa with the French U18 team.

“The club is working with the French Rugby Federation and SA Rugby to enable the family to travel to the site and is discussing with them the ongoing research and the needs for on-site reception.

Referee Aimee Barrett-Theron explains how the new shot clock at scrums and lineouts will be managed under the new law trials.

“In addition, the club’s medical centre is setting up a support and psychological support unit for the players and supervisors who share Medhi’s daily life. Out of respect for the family, all of Medhi’s teammates and supervisors, the club does not wish to provide any additional communication.”

The France U18s were in the Cape Town area for an age-grade tournament featuring teams from South Africa, England, Georgia and Ireland.

What Jac Morgan said moments after clear-out will only anger Wallabies fans

This was one bad call in a string of bad calls.

It's hard to feel sorry for the Aussies though.

They let a 23-5 lead slip away.

And don't forget Nic Berry did his best to make sure the Boks lost their Lions series 2021.

'Johann van Graan has, out of rubble and dust, rebuilt the barony of Bath'

I am a Bath fan and all I can say is what an outstanding job Johan has done. He took an unfit squad with broken confidence and has dramatically turned the club around. I think JP Ferreira was his best signing, who took a leaky defence and turned it into the league’s best within 2 seasons. Lee Blackett then added a touch of attacking excitement and they have become a very good team, who are always tough to play against.

Chapeau Johan - you have the entire City behind you and have made the club your own.

👏👏👏

Many Springboks fans are saying same thing about the Lions

Is insulting all I do? No that is you. Here is your message that started this

“Who gives a rat’s you know what Saffers think. They are a boorish arrogant bunch.”

You decided to insult Saffas, not me. A pathetic little comment that was completely unnecessary, especially as this article was just click bait to get the worst responses the writer could from Saffas. And you obliged and insulted us. The writer failed to get insults from the Saffas, but you had to Stoke the fire.

If Jac Morgan was a South African player he would have got a red card and suspension. Compare it with Neethling Fouche's red card and suspension in a URC game recently
