Report: Toulouse target Premiership duo
- 3651
Toulouse are looking to add to their already impressive squad with Courtney Lawes and Dan Biggar reportedly on their shortlist for next season.
A host of players will be leaving the European Champions at the end of the current season with former All Black Jerome Kaino headlining the departures as he bring a close to a magnificent career.
The final round of the #TOP14 certainly did not disappoint 🔥

Looking to build on their recent success, Toulouse are looking to make a double swoop on Northampton Saints to take British & Irish Lions pair Dan Biggar and Courtney Lawes to the Top 14 next season.
According to a report by the Rugby Paper, Toulouse are willing to lucrative offerers to both Biggar and Lawes. However, the report goes on to state that Toulouse would require the pair to withdraw from the Lions squad.
While Dan Biggar would still qualify to play for Wales if he made the move, Lawes' test career would be over unless a special dispensation is made for the 87 test cap lock.
The move for Lawes would be to fill the void left by Jerome Kaino in the Toulouse squad while the Top 14 side has struggled with backline depth during the 2020/21 season. The move for Biggar would allow Toulouse to rest the likes of Romain Ntamack more often.
