Angus Bell, Rob Herring and Scott Wilson have returned to training, but are doubts for Friday's game at home to the Stormers.

Former Ireland under-20 head coach Noel McNamara has extended his contract with Bordeaux until 2029.

The Clare native is in his third season as the attack coach with the reigning Investec Champions Cup holders, where he oversees Maxime Lucu, Mathieu Jalibert, Damien Penault and Louis-Biel Biarré, among others.

He moved to the Girondins along with Fransch.

He moved to the Girondins along with head coach Yannick Brew in 2023, with the pair previously working together at South African side the Sharks.

And finally today, Wales and Cardiff full-back Lee Halfpenny has announced he'll retire from rugby at the end of the season.

The 37-year-old has played 101 times for his country, scoring 801 points.

That puts him third among their all-time point scorers.

He won three Six Nations titles with Wales, including a Grand Slam in 2012, and was part of two World Cup semi-final sides in 2011 and 2019.

Halfpenny also won four caps for the British and Irish Lions.

He was a crucial part of their 2013 Tour winning side in Australia and he won club trophies with Cardiff, Toulon and Harlequins.

That's about all for today's Rugby Daily.
