Brive were worthy returnees to the Top 14 after a single Pro D2 campaign and while recruitment has been limited, there can expect consolidation in 2020/21.
La Rochelle were fifth when the 2019/20 Top 14 season was called off early, so why are we wondering about what might have been for Jono Gibbes' team?
It was May 2 when Brive announced that 10 players would leave… the Top 14 club have now recruited 5 replacements, including Fijian Setariki Tuicuvu.
