Pyle extends Stade stay until 2020

Pyle, 28, has become a fixture of the Stade pack since his arrival from Melbourne Rebels in 2014.

Stade, who will be managed from next season by ex-All Black Greg Cooper, will not only see the back of current coach Gonzalo Quesada but also a raft of senior players like Rabah Slimani, Raphael Lakafia, Hugo Bonneval and Geoffrey Doumayrou.

Scrumhalf Clement Daguin and flanker Matthieu Ugena have, however, also signed up to stay at the Parisian club, until 2020 and 2019 respectively.
