Bayonne sign Lauaki, Chisholm, Heymans, Tialata and Rokocoko

I don't despise Mike Phillips as much as some people around here do.
He doesn't have the straghtest or quickest pasks of all international halfbacks, but I think he is more than good enough for club level.

What seems odd is all this money being pumped into a side that doesn't play the Heineken Cup...

It's not all that strange when you think about French clubs. Toulon and Racing Metro 92 spent truck loads of money whilst they were still in D2, buying players like Anton Oliver, Andrew Mehrtens, Tana Umaga, George Gregan etc. Even clubs who are trying to get into the second devision and aren't fully professional will spend money on player like Jonah Lomu and Isitolo Maka.
