In discussion with the staff

Gala recruit for the Stade Français, Morgan Parra had been chosen to take the leadership of the team until 2024. A time injured and therefore unavailable to play with his new club, the scrum-half was finally aligned eight times , each time as holder since his arrival. 

"I met the future staff Laurent (Labit) and Karim (Ghezal). We are discussing my role, if I have to go to the other side, if I decide to go medical joker. There are a lot of discussions in progress. Now we will see, we will refine but in a few weeks it will be decided", declared the player who for the moment does not foresee an imminent end of career.

"I'm not saying, however, that I'm not studying it (his retirement from professional playing)," he continued.

At 34, Morgan Parra should however be less present on the ground.

The Parisian club would have also obtained the agreement of two other scrum-half for imminent arrivals: the New Zealand international Brad Weber and the Bordelais Jules Gimberts, which could precipitate the passage of the former Clermontois on the bench .

"I must also be ready in my head to go to the other side", ended up conceding Morgan Parra in
