🏉 Exciting news for rugby fans! Wales prop Rhys Carré is staying put at Saracens, despite enticing offers from French clubs and heavy interest in the international scene! 🇫🇷❌ The 27-year-old powerhouse’s current contract runs out at season’s end, but he’s opted to remain a key figure under coach Mark McCall’s guidance.
Carré has come a long way since his stint on the sidelines after being dropped from the 2023 Rugby World Cup squad due to fitness concerns. There was even talk of him switching his international allegiance to Ireland, thanks to family ties. However, Wales coach Steve Tandy realised his value and made sure he stayed on the squad, giving him an exception in the 25-cap law.
The decision seems to have paid off, with Carré shining as one of the most explosive ball carriers in the Gallagher Premiership and becoming a formidable force in scrums. He’s a name to watch!
Joining him at Saracens next season is Wales scrum-half Tomos Williams, departing Gloucester, while Nick Tompkins will also remain part of the team. With several Welsh stars like Jac Morgan and Dewi Lake heading to Gloucester and many others playing in England, the Gallagher Premiership is becoming a hotbed for Welsh rugby talent! 🏴🔥
Get ready for a cracking season of rugby – will you be watching? 🏆🏉
