La Section Paloise a annoncé ce mercredi la signature d’un nouveau joueur : le Néo-Zélandais Tom Franklin, 34 ans va rejoindre le Béarn et le terrain « à partir de lundi prochain », a indiqué le club dans un communiqué.

Capable d’évoluer 2^e ou 3^e ligne, Franklin (2 m, 115 kg) a évolué aux Highlanders avec qui il a remporté le Super Rugby en 2015.

Après des expériences au Japon (Kobelco Steelers) et aux Etats-Unis (San Diego), Franklin a fait un retour l’an dernier dans le Super Rugby, au sein de la franchise australienne de la Western Force.

« Le renfort d’expérience de Tom est le bienvenu pour solidifier certains postes en tension », a expliqué le manager palois Sébastien Piqueronies dans le communiqué.

« Au sein d’un championnat aussi rude que le Top 14, compter sur un joueur de son calibre est une grande plus-value. Nous attendons beaucoup de son exigence et de son savoir-faire du très haut-niveau. »

Stat chat: Has Hoskins Sotutu answered the All Blacks' questions in 2025?

He's a couple of inches shorter than Hoskings and lighter so definitely not going to be selected on the basis of being a ‘physical monster’. Probably his lack of size is a significant barrier to his selection as the loose forwards currently being favored are Sititi and Ardie, neither are in the top echelon for size

Interesting that there’s apparently two open places still to be selected for the squad if required, whatever that means. I guess one could be held open for Jack Willis when he’s finished with Toulouse but that doesn’t stack up with Kinghorn’s selection. The only other possibility I could think of is that they’re being held for two players who are currently injured and have uncertain return timelines, namely faz junior and Doris. Now wouldn’t that set the cat among the pigeons?

Arsevilli is a turn style on defence and Wankadder is well over due to be injured by then anyway so moot point.

Ethan Blackadder made 26 tackles 3 weeks ago here in CHCH against the Blues. He has been in great form for the Crusaders. I am hopeful that Razor retains faith in him. On tackle count you could not go passed fellow Crusader Tom Christie , his stats were great v the Highlanders were great. David Havili has taken his game to a new level since becoming the Crusaders captain.He should be in the All Blacks as well.

Might be cause ROG isn’t an international coach. I think Rassie getting told off by the headmaster in the past is just a reflection of his extreme passion for the game.

Great story, thanks Nick! It’s going to be an intriguing series. I’m feeling optimistic about our Aussie cousins. I feel like they have made some decent progress.

Hansen over Darcy is the worst selection.

Other than that I think Jack Willis and Jamie George should be there but mostly the selections are good.

If this was Rassie there would 50 sanctimonious comments about how “it’s against the spirit of the game” and “how dare” he etc etc.

Sam Gilbert is a good player. All these players have gives their all for Connacht. Shame Piers is leaving and we didn't get to see the best of Santi, but Connacht need to rebuild for next season. Gilbert and Ioane, at theclub still leaves 1 Niq place available.

Speed isn’t what Farrell looks for in a winger. He likes an 11 with a big left boot (Lowe & Daly) and a 14 who can step into the line as a distributor (Hansen & Freeman). Duhan van der Merwe isn’t a Farrell style player but is too good to ignore. Graham isn’t quite that level.
