Are we expecting anymore coaches? Seems Pienaar's family have moved back to belfast the day of Top14 final. Anyone fluent in french, does that article remark that Steyne's moving to Ireland also?

just not sure if both to ireland is poor journalism or poor translation. Could Steyn be our new signing? he's centre but was he not originally a 10?

Steyn can play flyhalf, centre, fullback, wing and probably 6. He's certainly big enough. Having a boot like his at 12 would be ideal for any young 10. We can dream.

At 31 I'd say he would be labelled a talent blocking mofo. Maybe Leinster are signing him to replace Joey.

Google translated it for me. According to them Steyn's family are moving over with the Pienaar's. Neither can settle in France.

Yes did the same, just wasn't sure if that was a bad translation. Family's moving but players not then.

wow! Yes it says that Pienaar’s family never settled over there and have moved back to Belfast - and that Steyn’s family has also moved to Ireland, because they haven’t settled in France.. so Ruan and Steyn have apparently rented a small house together...

And Altrad seems to be suggesting that this caused Pienaar’s poor performance on Saturday, and is openly wondering whether the new arrangement will work out!!

All seems a bit strange, you get the feeling that there’s more going on there than meets the eye...

It doesn't mention the players so perhaps they are moving for the off season.

Have the Pienaars all been living in France anyway or was it just Ruan, there was talk that his wife and kids have been here anyway and just go over during school holidays

AFAIK they were in France and their house was let. I think I heard they are now renting back here themselves.
