RONAN O'Gara's La Rochelle have signed French fly half Antoine Hastoy from Pau as a replacement for Ihaia West, who is leaving the European champions this summer for Toulon, reports say.

Hastoy has been with pau since 2015 but has told Midi Olympique of his frustration at the team’s inability to make it into title contention. With a move to La Rochelle, the 25-year-old hopes to rekindle his dream of lifting the Top 14 and even earn an international call-up.
