Springbok centre appears to have changed mind on move to France
Clermont Auvergne are set to take legal action against South African centre Jaque Fourie following his apparent U-turn on a move to the French club.
The Golden Lions released a statement last Friday which said they have a "fixed-term contract of employment with Jaque Fourie until 31 October 2010" and that they would not be releasing the Springbok star, who has been linked with a move to Western Province.
However, Clermont claim to have a letter signed by Fourie that ties him to their club for the coming season.
Clermont vice-president Jean-Marc Lhermet told
L'Equipe: "The debate is moving to the legal side, it is going to be sorted out between lawyers.
"By principle, we are going to go as far as possible."
