Former Bulls winger Madosh Tambwe is likely to stay with Union Bordeaux-Bègles (UBB) despite interest from several top clubs like Clermont Toulon and La Rochelle – according to Midi Olympique.

UBB’s president Laurent Marti now shows a preference for keeping the Congolese player within the team’s ranks a notable shift from earlier stances considering UBB’s depth in the winger position – with players like Louis Bielle-Biarrey, Damian Penaud. Pablo Uberti and rookie Maël Moustin.

Indeed Tambwe’s future at UBB seemed uncertain, especially with the potential arrival of promising talent Enzo Reybier from Oyonnax. The club initially appeared reluctant to renew his contract due to regulations favouring domestically trained players. Yet Tambwe’s exceptional performances particularly against Toulon in a historic victory for UBB at Mayol have tipped the scales in his favor.

Despite the allure of playing for other leading teams in the Top 14 and having explored options like visiting La Rochelle’s facilities and receiving an offer from Clermont Tambwe’s prospects of remaining with UBB have significantly improved. His recent on-field achievements have underscored his value to the team at a time when bolstering the winger position seems prudent.

Complicating matters Tambwe recently underwent surgery for a broken hand leaving him sidelined for at least three weeks. This development will see him miss the upcoming game against Castres a setback for the team. Nevertheless the decision to extend his contract with UBB despite the competitive interest from other clubs and his current injury reflects the high regard in which he is held and the strategic importance of retaining key talent for future competitions.

'It's time for Borthwick and Farrell to pin their colours to the mast at 10'

Borthwick is the most conservative head coach in international rugby. Ford oozes conservatism so Borthwick loves him. Both the Smiths are mavericks by comparison. The obvious choice is Finn Smith to lead Englands daring strategy. He embodies solidity but can also fix defences with his running game and varies his play enough to keep everyone guessing. Marcus Smith is way too out there for Borthwick but he has enormous potential and when he is on there isn’t a better game driver in England. Borthwick wants to transform England into a positive go forward team but is torn between that desire and his natural inclination towards conservatism. If anything, this persistence with Ford is more about the coaches internal struggle than the players themselves.

Prendergast is a wonderful talent and shows glimpses of his potential but not regularly enough. He is also wild with the boot and plays frenetically at times often making poor decisions and creating more confusion for himself and his teammates with his muddled play. Crowley is abrasive and direct, he feeds off positive energy and is quite a consistent performer. He also brings others into the game quite well. When things are going badly though he is petulant and prone to ill-discipline. Farrell is trying to find that all round world class 10 to replace Sexton but sees flaws in both players and can’t find the balance he needs with either which is why he is struggling to favour either player.
