Australia hooker Tolu Latu to leave French club Stade Francais

Latu, 29, who played the last of his 21 Tests in November was handed an 11-week suspension last month – as reported by The South African website – for a dangerous tackle during the European Champions Cup loss to Racing 92.

Tolu Latu has been linked with the Waratahs

The front-rower has been linked with a move back to the Waratahs to attempt to claim a place in the Wallabies’ squad for the 2023 Rugby World Cup.

 

“Thanks to our hooker Tolu Latu for these three seasons,” the Parisians posted on Twitter.

“We wish you the best for what’s to come.

“Have a safe trip back home,” they added.

Latu scored six tries, was shown two red and seven yellow cards in 54 appearances for Stade Francais.

“It’s with a heavy heart I announce I’m leaving the club,” Latu said on Instagram.

“It’s time for me to go home and start the next chapter of my rugby.”

Australia host England in three Tests in July before starting their Rugby Championship campaign against Argentina in Mendoza on August 6.

  2. Onismor Bhasera has been designated the new captain of SuperSport United by new head coach Gavin Hunt in the DStv Premiership. The veteran left-back from Zimbabwe, age 36, has replaced Ronwen Williams, who joined Mamelodi Sundowns, another Tshwane team. “He has extensive experience” (Gavin Hunt) Bhasera joined Matsatsantsa from Bidvest Wits in 2016 and has since participated in 156 games across all competitions for the team. Bash will serve as the team’s captain this year, according to a report from Gavin Hunt on Soccer Laduma. “He is a fantastic professional, and he has the experience. I believe he will accept the position since he is a leader. He will do well in this capacity, in my opinion. “It’s crucial for someone to join and be verbal and maintain the highest standards imaginable, which is true both on and off the field. Bash will succeed, I’m confident. He has my complete backing. I choose him. The vote was democratic. That was me. Being the captain carries a lot of responsibility, Bhasera continued. SuperSport is a large club, but I have to take it on with both hands and undoubtedly set an example by going out there myself. It’s going to be an exciting season because I have to play at the top of my game. “Ronwen did a great job for the club, so it’s a major loss, but it also presents a great opportunity for someone else to step forward and take his or her place. Williams has left, but that is football. The players are constantly on the move. He’ll do well at his new club, we hope. SuperSport United placed ninth in the DStv Premiership last year, but this year, larger things are anticipated from the team.
