Former England rugby union winger Dan Scarbrough has backed St Helens flier Regan Grace to be a hit after switching codes.
Grace, 25, turned down a new deal from the Super League champions to sign up with French Top 14 side Racing 92. And Scarbrough, 44, knows just what the talented Welsh wideman can expect when he arrives in Paris having played with the club himself from 2008 to 2011. He said: “Regan Grace has certainly got the skills and talent to make his mark with Racing.
“He just needs to relax, let it happen and enjoy the ride. The key thing for me is how he’ll transfer to the French way of playing. Playing rugby league here is quite structured but in France they’re more classic laissez-faire. It’s all how that transition is managed: one, from rugby union but, two, into something totally different like living over there.
