Contepomi: Will swap Toulon for Stade Francais

Contepomi has spent the past two seasons with Toulon, however he has now agreed to team up again with Stade coach Michael Cheika - with the duo having won the Heineken Cup together at Leinster in 2009.

The 33-year-old will team up with fellow Pumas Pedro Ledesma, Juan Martin Leguizamon, Martin Rodriguez, Rodrigo Roncero and Gonzalo Tiesi in Paris.

Contepomi will replace Lionel Beauxis, who has joined Toulouse, while reports in France suggest Mathieu Bastareaud is set to head to Toulon.
