why so many English players feel the pull of French rugby

> It is the matchday bus rides to his new club’s stadium that,
for Will Collier, perfectly capture the parallel universe of
French club rugby. “You can hear the fans when you’re still a
minute away,” says the former Harlequins prop, one of the latest
band of Premiership pros to relocate to the Top 14, in his case
to Castres. “You can see the smoke and the flares going off.
There are drums and trumpeters … they even had a saxophonist
last week. It’s absolutely bonkers. The passion is wild.”

Really just replying cos I like Will, I like France and I am
pleased to see that the combination is working out. Also, was
sad to see this here for so long without a reply of sorts. How
we miss him now.

Well, he has also scored three tries in 9 games. Which might be
more than he scored in his entire Quins career.
He's joint second highest try scorer for Castres this season!
