Zapping World Fifteen Rugby: Top 15 highest paid players
Among the seven recruits of Stade Toulousain during this summer transfer window is the former player of the Maritimes: Arthur Retière. Able to evolve just as well as a scrum half, on the wing or at the back, his versatility will be of great help to the team from the pink city, especially in times of doubles.
In an interview for the club’s official website, the one who had a selection with the XV of France said he was impatient to start this new adventure.
“Excited, I think that’s the word. I had a great time in La Rochelle but I’m now focused on my goals here in Toulouse. Like the rest of the group, I can’t wait to play my first match at the Ernest-Wallon stadium, in front of this beautiful audience. I know that here too, they are fervent supporters and I can’t wait to wet the shirt in front of them.”
While he had a fairly complicated 2021-2022 season due to numerous injuries, the former player of the France 7 team hopes to chain meetings during this new exercise with his new club. A new club whose presence of many French internationals and his brother weighed in the balance when making his choice.
“These players first weighed in the balance when it came to my coming to Toulouse. Then, as soon as I arrived, their welcome was great and I felt at home here. It helped my integration and it helps me on a daily basis I evolve in an environment conducive to my adaptation and I am very happy.”
“Yes, it was also an important factor in coming to the Stadium. Today, it’s more than a dream that we are realizing. It’s something we both had difficulty imagining and I I hope to play a few games with him this year. It would be really amazing.”
