Out-of-favour France winger Remy Grosso is returning to where it all started for him, the 31-year-old confirming on Tuesday that a deal has been struck to move back to Lyon following a three-and-a-half-year stint at Clermont.

Last capped in June 2018 versus New Zealand, Grosso earned his stripes in the professional ranks at Lyon, spending five seasons with them from 2008 to 2013. 

Four of those campaigns came in Pro D2 before he moved on to Castres for more regular rugby in the Top 14. He then switched to Clermont, making a top-flight debut for them in February 2017.

      RugbyPass brings you episode two of The Rugby Ruckus, the new Australian rugby podcast

      The fortunes of Lyon are now very much changed in recent years, the club becoming a Top 14 powerhouse who are challenging for titles and qualifying for the Heineken Champions Cup under Pierre Mignoni. 

      With rugby in France beginning to pick up the pace again following the coronavirus cancellation of the 2019/20 season, Lyon last month confirmed six new signings – including Reds contract rebel Izack Rodda – for the 2020/21 campaign which is due to start in September.

      The 23-year-old Australian second row (25 caps) signed a one-year deal, joining Gillian Galan of Toulouse, Mathieu Bastareaud (Rugby United New York), Leo Berdeu (Agen), Colby Fainga’a (Connacht) and Joe Taufete’e (Worcester Warriors) at the club ahead of the new season start.

      Speaking in Le Progres about his decision to take up Lyon’s offer, Grosso said: “I feel like I’m going home.” It was late March, shortly after the 2019/20 season had been suspended due to the outbreak of the pandemic, that Grosso was first linked with a return to his first professional club.

      At the time, Mignoni commented: “We made a proposal to Remy but nothing has been done because of the crisis we are going through and of which we do not yet know, nor neither the end nor the economic impact on our club.”

      Bath win Prem Cup to end 17-year trophy wait

      Saffa coaches doing well overseas. Bath with van Graan steering the ship, and Nienaber having a profound effect at Leinster. And of course Franco Smith with Glasgow.


      All this rugby IP will stand us in good stead for when Rassie calls it quits. He is only 52, so hopefully not soon. Stick and Vermeulen also being groomed.

      Charlotte Caslick on Olympics: 'It still sucks, but we've got to get over it'

      Morphohack Successfully Recovered My USDT/BTC From GainBitcoin Scam.

      My name is Mukesh and I was a victim of a GainBitcoin scam where I was promised huge returns from my investment not knowing I was being conned by GainBitcoin, I lost 22 million Indian rupees to this scam which I thought was gone forever after the whole scheme was down, however, I came across Morphohack Cyber Service, who was able to help me trace and recover my USDT and BTC funds and after several months of waiting for the CBI to begin their investigation, Morphohack Cyber Service was able to help me recover my USDT/BTC in a few hours. It’s such a pity that such a scam could be allowed to continue for so long and if not for the services of Morphohack Cyber Service, I would have lost my money forever. I’m recommending Morphohack services to everyone affected by the GainBitcoin scam. I can confidently assure you that Morphohack can recover any crypto assets no matter how long you have lost them. Below is their contact information.

      Fabien Galthie's emphatic World Cup statement after Six Nations title

      France look set to dominate the NH for some time at this rate. Things clicking nicely for them.


      However, I do think they are very vulnerable to nerves. They allowed England to throw them. And Scotland in that first half. They don’t respond well when things aren’t going their way. They can look very average under pressure. I wonder how they would have looked in the second half had that Scotland try stood. The try being disallowed seemed to be the let off they needed for momentum to shift.


      I also feel they may be vulnerable in certain positions. At least Lucu, for example, has stepped up in DuPont’s absence. Although he had a much better game last week. I feel like they may struggle if missing key players in quite a few positions. Particularly in the backline. They’ve shown some good depth in their packs with the 7-1 splits.


      On that note - I am looking forward to seeing who else they have when they tour NZ with what will be their B-Team/squad. If they’re going to lose the opportunity to galvanize their first choice team, and in form players, then the opportunity to give others a chance in the cauldron of New Zealand must be maximized for all it’s worth. And will give us a much clearer picture of how great a threat they will be in 2027.

      It was supposed to be a dream trip, a long-awaited journey from the USA to China to visit family and explore new places. I had spent months planning every detail, from the itinerary to the accommodations. But what started as excitement quickly turned into a nightmare when I fell victim to a fake flight ticket scam, losing $580,000 in the process. The betrayal I felt was indescribable. I had trusted the website, which looked legitimate, and even received what appeared to be a confirmation email. It wasn’t until I arrived at the airport that I realized I had been scammed. The ticket was fake, and my money was gone.I felt a mix of anger, embarrassment, and helplessness. How could I have been so careless? I had worked so hard to save for this trip, and now it was all gone. I reported the incident to the authorities, but I was told that recovering the funds would be nearly impossible. That’s when I stumbled upon Hack Buster Recovery. At first, I was skeptical after all, I had already been scammed once. But I was desperate, and their reviews seemed genuine. I decided to take a chance and reached out to them. From the very first interaction, the team at Hack Buster Recovery was professional and empathetic. They listened to my story, asked for all the necessary details, and assured me they would do everything in their power to help. Their confidence gave me hope. Over the next few days, they kept me updated on their progress, explaining each step of the recovery process in a way that was easy to understand. I was amazed by their expertise and dedication.To my absolute astonishment, within a week, Hack Buster Recovery successfully recovered my $580,000. I couldn’t believe it. The relief and gratitude I felt were overwhelming. They not only got my money back but also restored my faith in humanity. Their team went above and beyond to ensure I was taken care of, and I will forever be grateful for their incredible work.This taught me a valuable lesson about being cautious online, but it also showed me that there are still good people out there willing to help. Hack Buster Recovery is a true lifesaver, and I can’t recommend them enough. If you ever find yourself in a similar situation, don’t lose hope and reach out to them.

      Yes they played a lot more controlled game than in NZ. Good contest for most of the game, and that kind of scoreline not exorbitant by the standards of SRP 2025!

      Gloucester-Hartpury and Saracens dig deep to set up PWR final

      That’s when, luckily, I stumbled upon a post from someone who had gone through a similar situation. They recommended a company called Tech Cyber Force Recovery, a group of crypto recovery experts who specialize in helping people recover lost funds from fraudulent investment schemes. At first, I was hesitant. After all, I’d already been deceived once, and I wasn’t sure if I could trust another company. However, I decided to take the risk and contacted Tech Cyber Force Recovery. I shared my transaction history and details with them, and within just seven hours, they asked for my wallet address. To my amazement, I received $6,300 back into my wallet. I can’t express how grateful I am to Tech Cyber Force Recovery for their help. They were professional, prompt, and thorough in their approach, and they truly helped me recover a significant portion of my lost money. If you find yourself in a similar situation, I highly recommend reaching out to recovery experts like Tech Cyber Force Recovery.

      Mixed Wales update on availability of Josh Adams, Gareth Anscombe

      It all started when I was lured into investing by an FX trader I met on Instagram. The trader seemed professional and confident, sharing stories of massive returns from their investments. They promised that I could make five times that back within seven days by investing a certain amount. The offer was too good to pass up, and it was a golden opportunity to grow my money. After all, the trader had proof of their success and seemed trustworthy. I decided to invest, and over the next five weeks, I paid a total of $7,200 to the trader's company. Each time I tried to withdraw my funds or the supposed earnings I’d accumulated, they came up with new excuses and reasons why I needed to pay more money before I could access my earnings. They claimed I had to cover additional fees, taxes, or "security deposits" before processing my withdrawal. At first, I hesitated, but with every new claim, they made it seem like I had no other choice if I wanted to see my money again. It was a frustrating and confusing process, and each time I questioned them, they reassured me that I would get my money soon. Eventually, I realized I had been scammed. I was fed up and desperate, but I didn’t know what to do. That’s when, luckily, I stumbled upon a post from someone who had gone through a similar situation.

      well, I think on the contrary that England might have more players selected just because Ireland managed poorly this year and not for the results of England’s team. Really fortunate that the opponent will be Australia and not SA or NZ…

      Four England talking points after their Six Nations rout of Wales

      The flyhalf battle is probably the most interesting. At the start of the tournament I thought it unlikely Farrell would go especially considering he's been injured but none of the incumbents really nailed it. Fin Smith was good but is young and not many other English backs are likely to go now that Lawrence is injured so no natural chemistry. Mitchell will go but likely won't start tests. Ireland can't work out who is their best ten and Fin Russell’s stock has fallen. Marcus could make it as a utility player but may miss out as he's not had success at 10. He could still do a job midweek and provide a 6:2 bench option. Ford looked good but has had no game time. Door is definitely ajar for Faz and Daddy is picking the team.


      Realistically Willis is one of the best backrowers in the world but with so many excellent 7s to choose from he's not “needed” per se.
