Just relieved to leave for an increasing season in Top 14 after having saved in extremis last Saturday by winning at home against Castres (21-10), the Stade Français must already get back to work, this time in terms of recruitment. And more precisely to lighten the wage bill. The Paris club having already exceeded the ceiling of the Salary-cap, it must indeed get rid of the players of its workforce presenting the highest wages.

Carbonel could therefore find the harbor and Hervé work in the future under the orders of English Paul Gustard in the capital.
The international opener (5 selections) for which the Stade Français had broken his piggy bank this summer to finish the season in the stands without having never imposed himself, he who had been recruited by Laurent Labit, a party of pink soldiers last March, does not imagine himself probably not stayed one more year in Paris. The exchange, if confirmed, could therefore suit the two parties. Pierre Mignoni, questioned in The team Before Carbonel leaves Toulon, he rubs his hands in advance. “Louis is a very good player, he is a player whose Toulon can consider the return in the years to come. »»
