ON THE BLINDSIDE
England winger Anthony Watson has moved a step closer to moving to France next season after being given a guided tour of the Castres training facilities.
Out of contract with Leicester Tigers this summer, Watson was also shown around the 12,300-seat Stade Pierre-Fabre as he mulls over his options.
Meanwhile, Sam Davies, below, could follow his Dragons teammate Ross Moriarty out of Rodney Parade this summer, with the former Wales fly-half attracting interest from Wales and France.
Moriarty has signed a deal with Brive, while Davies, who is Cardiff's number one target, is also interesting clubs in the French ProD2, runaway leaders Oyonnax and second placed Grenoble.
