The French pair are two of seven signings for Stuart Lancaster’s side ahead of the new season, which begins in September, one of which is his son Dan from Championship winners Ealing Trailfinders.

Lancaster is not the only Englishman heading over the Channel this summer, as Sale Sharks centre Sam James has also signed for the Parisian outfit alongside former England captain Owen Farrell, who is probably the biggest transfer in world rugby during this offseason.
