The back row will in fact for sign for Lyon, also confounding rumours linking him with a move to Clermont Auvergne.

The 33-year-old will take up a one year contract with LOU, where he will join returning centre cum No.8 Matthieu Bastareaud.

The 6’3, 114kg forward has enjoyed five years at Castres, prior to which he spent four years with Montpellier and Bourgain before that.

“Blessed and honored to have signed with the Lyon LOU Rugby Club. It’s awesome to return to the region where i started my French Top 14 career 10 years ago with Bourgain,” Tulou wrote on Instagram.

Although not entirely clear, it is quite possible his previously reported move to Beziers was contingent on the club being bought out by the UAE investors. Two weeks ago investors at the centre of a bid to takeover Beziers pulled out after French rugby’s accounting watch-dog rejected their approach, ending the ProD2 club’s dreams of expansion. The DNACG, the French game’s financial enforcement body, decided that the criteria for takeover hadn’t been met.

Once a New Zealand Sevens representative, Tulou has forged a career in France as a hard carrying, metre eating No.8 specialist.

'Wales' challenge now is to make the effort against Ireland their default setting’

I invested into a crypto company without my husband knowing to get more money in return and to show to him as proof so we coule invest more into the process. I had seen advert on social media and signed up cause I was reassured, I paid $550 for them to show me what they could do. I’d like to say that everything seemed very serious (website, personal advisor and a personal account where my interest comes in, so we decided to invest $45,000. I was able to get $7000 back quickly, and it was only then that things got really weird. They suggested investing more and signing a one-year warranty contract they said, to make a monthly profit of about 60,000 to 200,000! I refused and didn’t feel comfortable, so i asked for the remaining $40,000. I was then told I had to pay $15,000 as fee to get refunded i then contacted the FCA (Financial Control Authority), who confirmed that they weren’t authorized and that I had been scammed. Please i plead with people to avoid getting involved with such investments plan its all a waste of time and resources. I was really lucky to recover most of my money back cause i had to involve my husband and he contacted a hacking company that works with his office and they agreed to help cause of tje cordial relationship with each other. i highly recommend them. You'd have to go through a third party company cause they're highly profiled and secured Email: hack recovery agency At gmail Dot com ]
