Thomas Ramos clarifies reasons for move to Racing 92

French international rugby player Thomas Ramos has addressed his decision to leave Stade Toulousain for Racing 92 at the end of the season. Ramos rejected claims that the transfer was motivated by financial incentives, stating that he has turned down more lucrative offers in the past to remain with his current club. He noted that the opportunity to play as a fly-half (number 10) for Racing 92, allowing him to have a more direct impact on the game, was a decisive factor in his choice.

In Top 14 action, LOU Rugby manager Karim Ghezal emphasized the need for mental discipline and consistency during the final 20 minutes of matches as the team prepares for the new season. Meanwhile, ASM Clermont Auvergne faced criticism for ongoing disciplinary issues, specifically a high number of penalties and yellow cards during the opening period of their recent match, which hindered their ability to maintain momentum despite a late-game comeback.
