Maybe Europe isn't as good as all the talk. With Matfield and O'Young that makes at least two players that have come back in under one season.

I guess you've got to try it dont you, otherwise you'll always wonder. At least this way, he's had the chance to broaden his experiences and decided what he wanted

Maybe the owner at Toulon has to let a couple go so he can pay Carter $1.7m a year.
I doubt O'Young would have been on much. He was a bench warmer in Scotland so his decision was probably easy. Looks like he's destined for more splinters at the Force too.

its a little bit surprising to me considering the bakkies botha and wickus van heerden legal action to leave the bulls and the rumours of player unrest.
might be the glue the bulls need to get things back on track
