Paris exit: Paul Sackey
According to reports in the Parisian press, former England winger Paul Sackey's contract at Stade Français will not be renewed.
33-year-old Sackey, who has 22 caps for England, arrived in the French capital from Toulon in 2011 and became a regular feature in the Stade Français side under now-departed coach Michael Cheika.
This season however he has played less than half of Stade's Top 14 games and has yet to score a try.
Likewise, L'Equipe reports that former Brumbies winger Francis Fainifo is also on his way out. The 27-year-old has played just five Top 14 games this season.
In other news from the French transfer market, Midi Olympique reports that 21-year-old Biarritz fly-half Jean-Pascal Barraque is expected to move to Toulouse next season.

Well lets face it if you're going to a French Club, this is not the one to choose. Playing for Stade has ruined more careers than its made. Players of talent arrive and depart as average. Skrela, Beauxis etc etc. Tough on Sackey though he has always looked useful and still capable of doing a good job for someone.
