Toulouse s deputy coach Jean Baptiste Elissalde

New deal: Jean-Baptiste Elissalde

Toulouse have announced the re-signing of former scrum-half Jean-Baptise Elissalde on a new three-year contract as part of their coaching staff.

The 35-year-old, who claimed 35 caps and 214 points for his country in an impressive career, has become part of the furniture at the French club.

Toulouse were recently knocked out of the Heineken Cup Pool stages and currently lie second in the Top 14, seven points off Toulon.

Loyalty should be rewarded and Ellisalde was a great player and great visiionary whilst playing at Toulouse, His problem however is trying to translate his vision into something exciting that others can play. So far that hasn't happened and the back play at times has been pedestrian compared to his playing days, still, I hope that soon we shall begin to see the fruits of his labours.
