At Quins, Ibitoye was looking every bit an England prospect until 2020 – when he decided to up sticks and try his hand in France, first with Agen and then on loan with Montpellier – neither of which moves proved particularly successful. 

So now Ibitoye finds himself in Israel (where, in my ignorance, I didn’t know professional rugby existed) and will play against Georgian and Russian clubs in the eastern conference of the new Rugby Europe Super Cup. 

All part of Ibitoye’s great adventure, I guess, but I can’t help but think that he has only ended up there because of a lack of credible offers from the Premiership – or is that just me being incredibly parochial?
