Melvyn Jaminet on verge of mid-season exit from Toulouse - report
France fullback Melvyn Jaminet is reportedly on the verge of a mid-season move from Toulouse to Toulon, according to French rugby outlet Midi Olympique.

According to the report, discussions between the three parties involved are said to be in an advanced stage, with Toulon looking to secure an immediate transfer. However, a hurdle remains as Toulon is required to pay compensation due to the fact that Jaminet’s contract has not yet concluded.
Jaminet joined Toulouse during the 2022 off-season from Perpignan and has since played 17 matches for the club in the 2022-2023 season, making 14 starts, including two in the group stage of the Champions Cup.
Despite his contributions, the 24-year-old fullback faced challenges, including an ankle injury during the 23rd day of Top 14 against Stade Français, which led to his absence during the final stages with Stade Toulousain.
Additionally, stiff competition from players like Thomas Ramos, Ange Capuozzo, and Juan Cruz Mallía, who are all capable of playing at full-back, impacted Jaminet’s opportunities within the Toulouse squad.
This potential transfer to Toulon represents not only a bid for more playing time and a chance to establish himself as a key player but also a return to his roots. Born in Hyères in 1999, Jaminet started his rugby journey at the RCT rugby school in Toulon before playing for the Rugby Club de la Vallée du Gapeau in Solliès-Pont and RC Hyères Carqueiranne La Crau.

Jaminet’s rugby career progressed when he joined the Perpignan academy at the age of 19. In 2021, he achieved the title of French Pro D2 champion with the Catalan club and earned his first selection with the French XV during the summer tour in Australia.
Having been picked a handful of times by France, Jaminet has faced tough competition from then soon-to-be Toulouse teammate Thomas Ramos in the 2021-2022 season, a contest Ramos has won resoundingly.
The move to Toulon provides Jaminet with the opportunity to rejuvenate his career and potentially reclaim his standing in the rugby hierarchy. If the transfer goes through, Jaminet could make his debut for Toulon on the 9th day of Top 14 against Pau on Saturday, December 2, 2023.

Fiji deserve to be in the rugby championship, fans love seeing the Fijian national team play, the Fijian Drua is a wonderful idea but the players can still be stolen to play for NZ and AUS…

They had the superior scrum, a dominant lineout, and their defence was excellent once the Waratahs scored their two tries (thanks to some lucky refereeing calls mind you). They put pressure on the Waratahs lineout throughout the game, and the mind boggles as to why the referee did not award a yellow card or a penalty try against the Waratahs for repeated scrum infringements on their own try line before Narawa’s first try. And the Chiefs were slick with their passing and running angles on attack. It was a dominant performance all round, even with many questionable refereeing decisions.

4 Go to commentsBig difference from the Saders. Forwards really muscled up and laid a solid platform. Scooter brought some steel and I liked the loosie combination. Newell has been rather disappointing this season but stepped up big time - happy also to see Franks dot down. He should do that more often! Reihana had a good game and there seems to be more flair and invention with him in the saddle. McNicoll plays well from the back and is reliable plus inventive when he joins the line. Keep it up chaps!

1 Go to commentsAn on field red (aka a full red) in SRP must surely carry a bigger suspension than a red card given by the bunker as that carries a 20 minute team punishment. Had Damon Murphy abdicated his responsibility as a ref and issued both Drua players a yellow, which would have been upgraded to a 20 minute red by the bunker, that would have killed Australia and New Zealand’s push for the 20 minute red to be trialled globally from July this year.

I know he supposedly snubbed France but I won’t feel better until he signs.

3 Go to commentsI don't know how the locals feel about that? I guess if you call yourselves the Worcester Wasps that might be appease. But really we need more teams in the Premiership in my view so they are not padding it out as they are at the moment. It might curtail so many players going abroad as well

31 Go to commentsYup. New Zealand won 3 out of 10 world cups played. SA 4 out of 8 attempts 30 Vs 50 per cent.🤔🤔
31 Go to commentsShould've done this years ago. Change Saturday kick off times to around 11am. Up and off and back home before 3pm, limit travel time too. Allows players to actually do something else with their Saturday that's family oriented or being rugby fans they could ‘watch’ pro rugby. Increases crowds etc. How can anyone that enjoys grassroots and pro rugby have to choose between the two on Saturdays?
