Castres, the reigning French champions, are busily chasing Vereniki Goneva with a view to luring the Fijian wing back across the English Channel. No one seems entirely sure of the state of play – Goneva may or may not have signed a pre-contract, or a memo of understanding, or a declaration of intent – but as things stand, there is no guarantee that the Top 14 club will ultimately fare any better in their pursuit than Exeter’s backs, who trailed the man from one end of Welford Road to the other on Sunday in an exercise of purest futility.
