Another day, another Toulon story – and another Sam Whitelock image… The club on the south coast of France may not be the star-studded rugby power it once was – but it’s still a premier story source. My latest for Rugby Pass.
In what would be an early Christmas present to fans, Top 14 side Toulon are expected to confirm that New Zealand lock Sam Whitelock is set to join the club on a two-year deal after next year’s World Cup, at a press conference on Thursday, December 13.
