He will enjoy being there. If he shows the form that he was in for the latter part of our season, he will be a real asset to them.

Talking of ex Wasps, I will try and find out if Curtis is staying at Vannes for next season. If so, I will see if the game at Vannes between the two sides coincides with one of our trips to chez nous. We have a 2 hour drive to get there.

Its s shame Dai/Gaby couldn't have agreed a 1 yr extension as he had started to find form and build up an understanding with Sopps towards the end of the season.

Didn't someone mention he has a French wife who may have wanted to return to France though

Or maybe it was a bit of a flurry as he was back in the market.

Thanks for everything, Gaby. You were very harshly treated after the Exe game last year and got a 4 week ban. Sporting Sam Hill was gracious and tweeted Very fair tackle as far as I was concerned!

All the best for the future for you and your family.

Looks like Curtis is back in NZ now and his European travels are over.

If so, what a very odd 2 year odyssey for him.

Didn't he spend 1 season with us and presumably 1 year with Vannes?

So he's travelled to the other side of the world.. spent 1 season with us playing 1.5 games possibly.. then off to a 2nd Div club in France for 1 season and has then gone home?

Maybe he was just trying to avoid someone in NZ for 2yrs  ;D

I'm sure it was only 1 year, he left part way through the season didn't he?

He did, joined Wasps at the start of the season just gone, and left part way through.

Ahh.. my mistake.

Still.. not a particularly long tour of duty if he has returned to NZ.

Bit of a shame things didn't work out for him
