Un petit tremblement de terre a frappé le marché des transferts du rugby français.

Brice Dulin, arrière international du Stade Rochelais, devrait rejoindre le Stade Niçois pour la saison 2025/26.

S’il n’est pas rare de voir des internationaux – peu importe leur nationalité – s’engager avec des clubs de Pro D2, le choix de Nice est assez surprenant.

En effet, compte tenu de son niveau, Brice Dulin semble avoir encore sa place en Top 14. Or, il s’apprête à rejoindre un club qui semble condamné à redescendre en Nationale.

Le Stade Niçois Rugby est actuellement bon dernier de Pro D2 et ne compte que 22 points, soit 20 de retard sur Aurillac, 15e.

Brice Dulin, qui compte 17 titularisations avec La Rochelle cette saison, était dans l’attente d’une prolongation de contrat qui ne semblait pas venir.

D’après L’Équipe, il était en contact avec Castres et le Racing 92, deux destinations qui semblaient plus en accord avec son niveau. Il aurait aussi pu partir du côté de Vannes, encore en course pour se maintenir en Top 14 et qui, en cas de descente, ferait partie des poids lourds de Pro D2 l’an prochain.

Dulin a finalement décidé de rejoindre le projet de Jean-Baptiste Aldigé, ex-président de Biarritz et désormais à la tête de Nice.

'France may leave top players at home but will still be serious contenders in New Zealand'

The country turned septic on Foster for losing a series to what was arguably the best Irish side in history and one that may not have been ranked number one in the world when they arrived, but were by the time they left.

Imagine how feral the nation will be if Robertson’s All Blacks lose to what is supposedly going to be a French ‘B’ team?

This author proving he has less of an understanding of rugby than the general population.


The country was septic because of how easily they got beat Paul. The country is smart enough to rate the relative level of performances, and if Razors team goes backwards like Fosters the criticism you suggest might come will be fully deserved. If France B perform as good as France A and win by the same margins then those with the criticism the team should be winning every game will also be deserved. But the inference that the public didn’t give Ireland the credit they deserved couldn’t be further from the truth imo.

France have beaten the All Blacks on the last three occasions the two sides have met, and that the former has used 38 players in the process.

France could leave 40 players at home in July and still be a serious contender

And to the vibe of this article, it provides abosolutely zero reason to believe the next 38 best French are going to be as good as these first 38. Paul got one thing right, it’s no joke that France will be leaving behind 40 players.


France have a 45 man squad for 6N (well using Wiki), the team could be made up of these leftovers from the teams not likely to get close to Toulouse and Bordeaux, given that just the third place team is doing commendably well not to be in negative for and against like the rest.

One wouldn’t think Atonio is going to come (I’d be surprised if Fickou is still not rested or he and Le Garrec aren’t involved in a relegation playoff game) but a few good players there like Leo Barre, Le Garrec, Taofifénua, and that back row, but also a distinct lack of a spine with the 3 best playmakers playing in the Final at home.


What are the possibilities to fill out these missing spots? looking at Opta’s stats hub Serin and Couilloud provide good back up for Le Garrec by fact of having the highest try involvements in the Top14 (along with Michael Ruru). And Serin’s partner Herve looks the most threatening to carry on the teams style with his elusiveness?
