His words just after La Rochelle's win in the Champions Cup final against Leinster, on Saturday May 28, contained a hint. Gregory Alldritt had said that there was nothing better than the La Rochelle supporters. Our colleagues at RMC Sport confirmed that Stade Rochelais' captain was close to an agreement to extend his contract until 2026. This was a contract that had originally ended in 2023. We are now able confirm this information.

Gregory Alldritt (3rd middle line) was very well integrated in La Rochelle. He had 31 selections over 25 years and was at a crossroads. His complicity with France's Toulouse team was what had jumped out at him during the Grand Slam. Gersois, who repeatedly stated that he wanted to win a title with Yellow and Black, should sign a new contract. This is before other clubs have an opportunity to canvass him. The agreement is currently being finalized and he should sign it soon if he doesn't. The good news for maritime supporters is that the European title will be affixed, while other files are being resolved.
