In order to replace its emblematic second line Thomas Lainault, leaving for Racing 92, the FCG is about to hire the Ospreys James Fender player.
If the departure of Thomas Lainault to Racing is an obvious lossthe FCG has at least had the merit of activating to replace it.
Thus, while the arrival of Australian Cameron Holt has been formalized and that that of Fijien Joshua Thompson should not delay, the Isérois also set their sights on a 23 -year -old Welsh, James Fender, according to information from Dauphiné liberated that we are able to confirm.
Sleeveless and good jumper (2.04 m, 125 kg), former international U20, Fender disputed 13 games under the colors of the Ospreys last season and will live his second experience outside of Wales, after being loaned for half a season to the Cornish Pirates two years ago. Its integration will obviously be facilitated by the presence of its compatriot Sam Davies.
