Toulon's Jaminet Eager to Shine in Upcoming Top 14 Clash Against La Rochelle

Maxime Jaminet, the talented fly-half who joined Toulon in December 2023, has expressed his determination to perform well for his club ahead of the upcoming Top 14 clash against La Rochelle at Mayol Stadium.

In a statement made before Sunday's game, Jaminet revealed his eagerness to demonstrate his ability to deliver and his hope to return to the French national team in the future. He also expressed his hope that he won't get injured and that he will perform well in every match.

Jaminet's statement was in reference to the forthcoming Top 14 match against La Rochelle. However, there is currently no publicly available information about a planned next appearance of Maxime Jaminet for the French national team.

Despite a suspension that kept him out for nearly eight months at the end of last season, Jaminet has made a significant impact since joining Toulon. He played a key role in Toulon's 16-12 victory over Castres, landing a conversion and scoring the first first drop goal of his Top 14 career.

For Jaminet, his current goal is to play a full season with Toulon. With his focus firmly on his club, he is eager to prove his worth and potentially earn a call-up to the French national team once more.
