Betsen is coming back a a World Cup joker, to replace Harinordoquy in the backrow, and Matt Dunning has signed for two seasons.

With Tialata and Dunning not 10 km away, the authorities must be worrying about potential hamburger shortage in the region. Serious stuff.

Dunning is a funny signing, but it's good to see Betsen go back to where he belongs.

Was convinced Betsen was off to Japan

Was convinced Betsen was off to Japan

He may still be. His contracts ends in October.

 

[TRF_Cymro]

Dunning unreal lad.

And a potential shortage of props who can actually scrummage.
No drop goal jokes so far, that's unusual!

Dunning is the guy of the most unfortunate dropgoal in rugby history right?

 

[Amobokoboko]

Should be good to see Betsen play for Biarritz.

Unfortunate is not the word I would use, the tah's needed to score a try to win and quilfy for the semis of the S14. Dunning picks the ball up with something like 3 seconds on the clock and form 30 meters out slots a drop goal and outs them like 1 point behind. So the word I would use is unintelligent.

 

[TRF_Ezequiel]

I remember the situation. The Waratahs were on a penalty advantage and Dunning wanted to kick so they would get the penalty, kick for touch and drive over the line. Little did he know the ball would go between the posts haha

 

[lynam1104]

Well then if that was the though behind it then unfortunate is the right word, didn't know that.

 

[nickdnz]

Biarritz is a lucky, lucky club.

 

[TRF_Ezequiel]

There it is!!! I was looking for it in my archive and wanted to upload it myself but it's already on Youtube...

 

[TRF_Cymro]

Biarritz is a lucky, lucky club.

Never gets old :lol:

 

[ZeFrenchy]

BO deny having signed Betsen. Dunning is confirmed.

 

[munstermuffin]

I thought Betsen was retiring

 

[DonBilly]

I thought Betsen was retiring

Serge Blanco declared two days ago that Betsen transfer to Biarritz was actually a hoax.

 

[TRF_Olyy]

Wonder where he'll go now

 

[TRF_Cymro]

Issues with his spinal canal and the medical authorities of the FFR and LNR would not sign him off because of it.

 

[ZeFrenchy]

Well, they'll have to leave the drop goals to Peyrelongue or Bosch then...
