[QUOTE="nickdnz, post: 684816, member: 38640"] Let him withdraw. He knew all the players other than Chiocci and Menini were internationals prior to joining Toulon (he's lucky South Africa don't want Burden). He could argue Toulon are punished for having French internationals, however they won two championships on the basis of having few French internationals while teams like Toulouse lost their players. Like always, Laporte is throwing his toys out the pram because he doesn't want to have to play by the rules. Injuries and suspensions are unfortunate but it's something every club has to deal with. So no, I don't agree with him unless he genuinely feels there is no option left but to withdraw due to risks to player welfare. If that's the case then he absolutely should, but that's his problem and not anyone elses [/QUOTE]
