But he was injured shortly before arriving in Paris and did not play for the French outfit.

“The dual-code Welsh winger is on a short-term contract with the club and looking to return to full fitness in March,” read a Bath statement.

“He will be available for selection in Bath Rugby’s friendlies against Gloucester Rugby and Leinster Rugby.”

Blue Bulls utility forward Jacques Du Plessis and scrum-half Neil Le Roux have also joined up with Bath as part of their rehabilitation process.

Bath have agreed a provisional deal to keep Du Plessis until the end of the season should he return to full fitness, while former South Africa Under-20 international Le Roux joins from Blue Bulls in the United Rugby Championship.

Does South Africa have a future in European competition?

All you can do is hate on SA. Jealousy makes you nasty and it's never a good look. Those who actually knows rugby is all talking about the depth and standards of the SA players. They don't wear blinders like you. The NH had many years to build the depth and players for multiple competition the SA teams didn't. There will be growing pains. Not least travel issues. The NH teams barely have to travel to play an opponent opposed to the SA teams. That is just one issue. There is many more issues, hence the "growing pains". The CC isn't yet a priority and this is what most people have a problem with. Saying SA is disrespecting that competition which isn't true. SA don't have the funds yet to go big and get the players needed for 3 competitions. It all costs a lot of money. It's over using players and get them injured or prioritising what they can deliver with what are available. To qualify for CC, they need to perform well in the URC, so that is where the main priorities is currently. In time that will change with sponsors coming in fast. They are at a distinct disadvantage currently compared to the rest. Be happy about that, because they already are the best international team. You would have hated it if they kept winning the club competitions like the URC and CC every year too. Don't be such a sourmouth loser. See the complete picture and judge accordingly. There is many factors you aren't even aware of at play that you completely ignore just to sound relevant. Instead of being an positive influence and spread the game and help it grow, we have to read nonsense like this from haters. Just grow up and stop hating on the game. Go watch soccer or something that loves people like you.
