Well we can speculate that there seems to be an issue between him and Richardson based on his comments about his season being over and LR saying a second scan gave him a chance to play. What has gone off in the background we will never know unless one of the stable boys leaks something out to a poster on here. The club might have given him permission to go to France we don't know because LR states that he cannot say what is going on, but clearly there are a lot of issues and the Tiehi one could be a big one. Shame if it isn't sorted he is a good player and in L1 he will do very well.
