Former French international flyhalf Remi Tales has called time on his 16-year-long professional rugby career at the age of thirty six. Tales, who won 24 caps for France, enjoyed stints, LaRochelle, Castres and Racing 92, before ending his career where it started at Mont-de-Marsan in the ProD2.

Tales (6’1, 93kg)  broke the news on Instagram, where he used the analogy of a rugby match to chart his career.

“Today is the time to give the final whistle. This part I imagined it beautiful but in fact, it turned out to be magnificent,” said Tales on Instagram. “Rugby made me evolve, it allowed the little boy that I was to become a man. During this match, I met a lot of opponents, a first half with illusions, dreams of Brennus of models and guides but above all comforting shoulders, benevolent big brothers, educators, value trainers, coaches charismatic presidents.

“A second half with a taste for work, respect, fraternity and a balloon, which goes high in the sky like a drop made me grow and grow. My posts, my family who made me transform the essay, are the ingredients of my success. The third half with moments of sharing, team members who have become lifelong friends, travel, meetings.”

“The final whistle is now given, thank you to the big rugby family, to the supporters and to all my road partners. To give rugby all that it gave me would be pretentious but in my turn to pass!”

Aujourd’hui est venue l’heure de donner le coup de sifflet final. Cette partie je l’avais imaginé belle mais en fait, elle s’est révélée être magnifique. Le rugby m’a fait évoluer, il a permis au petit garçon que j’étais de devenir un homme. Durant ce match, j’ai rencontré beaucoup d’adversaires , une première mi-temps avec des illusions, des rêves de Brennus des modèles et des guides mais surtout des épaules réconfortantes, des grands frères bienveillants, des éducateurs formateurs de valeurs, des entraîneurs entraînants, des présidents charismatiques. Une deuxième mi-temps avec le goût du travail, du respect, de la fraternité et un ballon, qui monte haut dans le ciel à l’image d’un drop m’a fait m’élever et grandir. Mes poteaux, ma famille qui m’ont fait transformer l’essai, sont les ingrédients de ma réussite. La troisième mi-temps avec des moments de partage, des équipiers devenus amis pour la vie, des voyages, des rencontres. Le coup de sifflet final est maintenant donné, merci à la grande famille du rugby, aux supporters et à tous mes partenaires de route. Donner au rugby tout ce qu’il m’a donné serait prétentieux mais à mon tour de faire la passe! Merci le rugby ?

Leinster cleanse palette with record URC scoreline against Zebre

My name is Solenn Bonnet, and I am a single mother navigating the challenges of raising my two-year-old child while trying to make ends meet. I came across a trading platform that promised astonishing daily profits of 18%. The allure of such a high return on investment was too tempting to resist, and I found myself drawn into cryptocurrency trading. Excited by the prospect of financial freedom, I invested a significant amount of my savings, totaling over 5.7 BTC. However, what started as a hopeful venture quickly turned into a nightmare. The platform was a scam, and I lost everything I had invested. The emotional toll of this loss was immense; I felt devastated and helpless, struggling to provide for my child and keep up with my bills. In my desperate attempt to recover my funds, I sought help from various recovery experts. Unfortunately, I encountered numerous fraudulent individuals who claimed they could help me retrieve my lost money. Each time I reached out, I was met with disappointment and further scams, which only deepened my despair. Last year was one of the most challenging periods of my life, filled with anxiety and uncertainty about my financial future. Feeling overwhelmed and at a loss, I confided in a close friend from church about my situation. She listened compassionately and shared her own experiences with financial difficulties. Understanding my plight, she introduced me to Tech Cyber Force Recovery, a group of skilled hackers known for their expertise in recovering lost funds. Skeptical yet hopeful, I decided to reach out to them as a last resort. Their services came at a higher cost, but my friend generously offered to help me with a partial payment. I was amazed by how quickly they responded and began the recovery process. Their team was professional, efficient, and incredibly supportive throughout the entire ordeal. To my relief, they successfully recovered more than I had lost to those heartless scammers. This was truly transformative, and I felt a sense of relief and gratitude that I hadn’t felt in a long time. I strongly encourage anyone who has faced similar challenges or fallen victim to scams to reach out to Tech Cyber Force Recovery. If you’ve invested in a fraudulent platform like I did, they are highly capable of helping you reclaim your hard-earned money. Don’t lose hope; there is a way to recover what you’ve lost.
