Paul Gustard recruits club great to help ailing Stade Francais

Agen's Rugby Union Club French Head Coach Mathieu Blin looks on during the French Top 14 rugby union match between Agen and Brive on April 30, 2016 at the Armandie stadium in Agen, southwestern France.

Former Stade Francais hooker Mathieu Blin has joined the club he spent more than a decade with as a consultant in what is proving to be a difficult season.

A season after finishing second in the Top 14, just a point behind eventual champions Toulouse, and crashing out in the semi-finals, the Parisian outfit are second-from-bottom this season after 14 matches, and are faced with the prospect of a potential relegation play-off at the end of the season.

The club have already sacked head coach Karim Ghezal this campaign, subsequently promoting Paul Gustard to the role, and have now decided to further strengthen their coaching team, with Blin – a Stade Francais centurion and winner of multiple Top 14 titles between 1997 and 2010 – joining as a consultant to help with the scrum.

The 47-year-old is an experienced coach, having coached Agen for five years shortly after his playing career ended.

“From this day on, the Stade Français Paris staff will be able to count on its former player, Mathieu Blin, hooker at the club for thirteen seasons between 1997 and 2010, to provide his expertise in the scrum sector until the end of the 2024/2025 season,” a Stade Francais statement reads (translated by Google).

“Mathieu will thus support the current staff in this essential sector of conquest with a consulting role.

“He will work weekly with the professional team, only during training sessions and without being present on match days.”

The club have faced league leaders Bordeaux-Begles and second-place Toulouse over the last two rounds, and will now take on Gallagher Premiership winners Northampton Saints and United Rugby Championship runners-up the Bulls over the next two weeks in the Investec Champions Cup.

Upon returning from their European duties Stade Francais have what could be a season-defining couple of weeks with a trip to bottom-of-the-league Vannes, followed by a visit from Pau, who sit two places and only two points ahead of them.

I know Rugbypass is very english speaking focused, but I am not sure Paul Gustard recruit anybody... But maybe Laurent Labit is like Fabien Galthie who is only the assistant of Shawn Edwards...

Blues lose All Black for season ahead of Hurricanes derby

As a fitness coach, I’ve always taken pride in guiding and inspiring others not just in health, but in life. So when I came across what seemed like a promising crypto investment opportunity, I believed I was making a smart financial move. I even introduced it to a few of my students, thinking it could benefit them too.But everything came crashing down when I realized it was all a scam. I lost $16,000. The weight of that loss was more than financial, it was emotional. I felt ashamed, devastated, and completely powerless. Nights were sleepless, and the guilt of trusting the wrong people haunted me.In the midst of that dark time, I didn’t stop searching for a solution. And that’s when I stumbled upon Hack Savvy Tech . At first, I was skeptical that I had already been burned once. But something about their professionalism and the stories I read gave me hope.And I’m so glad I trusted them.Hack Savvy Tech didn’t just help me, they rescued me. They recovered every dollar I lost, and more than that, they restored my sense of security and peace of mind. Their team was transparent, understanding, and truly dedicated from start to finish.If you’ve been scammed, I know how hard it is. But don’t lose hope. Hack Savvy Tech is the real deal. They gave me a second chance and they can do the same for you.Telegram @hacksavvytechWebsite: https://hacksavvytechrecovery.comWhatsapp : +79998295038​

Blues lose All Black for season ahead of Hurricanes derby

This has been a very distressful week for me, after investing a humongous amount into Coinpro, a trading platform that promised luring returns, their 25% interest on each trading was quite an enticing deal so I opted to invest £207,700 expecting huge and profitable returns, unfortunately for me I realized little too late that it was the worst financial decision blunder that I had made after they started taking me round in circles once I realized I couldn’t access my funds.

I became frustrated and anxious upon coming to accept that I could have possibly lost my life time investment. After days of struggling with my situation I soon realized I urgently needed professional help, so I dove down to research on how to recover lost my funds, it’s when I stumbled on several testimonials about LEE ULIMATE HACKER an APPROVED hacker in all recovery problems, I decided to contact them via Leeultimatehacker@aol.com & wh@tsapp +1 (715) 314 - 9248

ASAP and I was soon welcomed by good customer service from one of their staff, who took me through the recovery process, I had lost all hope but they gave me hope and within a period of 12hours I was met with good news LEE ULTIMATE HACKER and his team were able to trace my funds, this quick turn around was just the good news that i deserved after that traumatic experience I had encountered of not being able to access my funds, but that was all water under the bridge after LEE ULTIMATE HACKER kept their word and within a few hours I was able to access and withdraw all my funds. Contact LEE ULTIMATE HACKER for all your recovery problems.
