Two birds with one stone. Stade Toulousain formalized this Monday the extension of the contracts of its "duo of the third center line". At 36 years old, the All Blacks Jerome Kaino, double world champion, re-runs for an additional season with the Rouge et Noir.

And Selevasio Tolofua, who has just been called at 22 for the first time in the France group, will still be able to benefit from the precious experience of his elder. The young player, from the Stade Toulousain training center, signed up until 2023.

Transmission and stability

With this announcement, the club wants to put forward its philosophy of "transmission" and "stability". "These two contract extensions [...] demonstrate the club's desire to encourage transmission between the most experienced and the youngest," said President Didier Lacroix. Jerome is a benchmark player in his position, alongside whom Selevasio is built on a daily basis. ”
