The four-cap France international, who turned 22 earlier this week, was being eyed by Ronan O’Gara over a potential move to La Rochelle.

It was reported in July that both Barre and France scrumhalf Nolann Le Garrec were in the crosshairs of the double Investec Champions Cup winners, with the former Racing 92 No9 signing for them earlier this month

    While La Rochelle were successful with their pursuit of Le Garrec, Stade Francais have managed to fend off any suitors for the versatile back, who is just as adept at flyhalf as he is at fullback.

    Barre is one of the rising stars of French rugby and was handed his debut in the Six Nations this year against Wales. A week later he scored his first international try in a victory over England in Lyon.

    The Parisian added two further caps to his name in July, starting in the No15 jersey in Les Bleus’ two Tests against Argentina.

    He was integral to a Stade Francais side that finished second in the Top 14 table last season, only one point behind eventual domestic and European double winners Toulouse.

    Stade Francais begin their new Top 14 campaign on September 7 against Bordeaux-Begles in a repeat of last season’s semi-final which they narrowly lost 22-20.

    He also had a magic run and assist for France's first try against England. Ramos' penalties wont save him forever.

    Exactly and he is far safer than Ramos on high balls.

    I Thought It Was All Gone! One minute, I struggled through the rush-hour chaos at Grand Central; the next, my phone was gone. A sly pickpocket had stolen it right out of my coat pocket. The panic set in immediately. That phone was my portal to everything, including access to my $315,000 Bitcoin fortune, set aside for my children's education. With my device lost, my two-factor authentication codes were out of reach, and the exchange did not have a backup recovery option. My mind raced: my children losing college educations, my careful financial planning ruined by seconds of distraction.I stumbled over onto a bench, cradling my briefcase in life-preserver mode. Catching my breath through tears, I was suddenly hit with sympathy from a strange,   kind old gentleman whose newspaper sported a circle of coffee spots—and who gave me a rough but hopeful-scribbled brochure. "Tech Cyber Force Recovery pulled my brother from a terror such as you just experienced. Call them up, son." Desperation got the better of doubt. I called in the afternoon. Their crew took to me immediately from the beginning. They sat and listened to the entire thing, every detail of how crowded the station had been to how fearful I was for my children's future. They assured me that all of this could be fixed. Their peaceful belief lifted me like a life preserver that floated me along.The process of recovery was as meticulous as open-heart surgery. They spoke directly to my exchange provider, coordinating time zones and levels of security. I received daily updates, always in plain human language. Even when nothing had yet changed, they would send me reassuring messages to inform me they were still fighting for me. After eight long days, the call came. My wallet was restored. Tech Cyber Force Recovery did more than recover my Bitcoin, they recovered my peace of mind and my family's future.FOR SERVICESTELEGRAM AT TECHCYBERFORCWhatsApp +15617263697
