GoulburnGeorge Gregan: Still Too Good in Toulon
February 25th 2008 22:00
Aaah George...Even if you're in all the wrong colours, you're still a glass and a half-back of chocolate goodness...
These pics are from the last match played in Toulon on Saturday Feb 23rd...the same night the Brumbies played the Highlanders in Canberra (although the time difference may play havoc with the symbolism...). RC Toulon won the match 38 - 9 (v Blagnac).
As you may or should know, George Gregan left to join RC Toulonnais (also known as RC Toulon or just Toulon) after the Rugby World Cup last year.
RC Toulon is a French professional Rugby Union club based in Toulon in Provence-Alpes-Cote d'Azur.
They currently play in the second division of domestic French Rugby, the Rugby Pro D2 competition.
Rugby Pro D2, also known as Pro D2, is the second level of domestic Club Rugby in France, below the first division, Top 14 (introduced in 2000)
Although RC Toulon has won the national competition on three occasions (Toulon were Pro D2 champions in 2005), after finishing 14th in the 2005-06 Top 14 season, they were relegated back down...but after signing a number of high profile footballers, the club is working to get back into the Top 14.

Coached by former All Black and fellow Legend, Tama Umaga (who also played), Toulon is currently at the top of the table.
Other legendary names signed by Toulon;
Former All Blacks - Andrew Mehrtens, Anton Oliver
Former Springbok - Victor Matfield

Where's Stephen when I need him? And why do I sound like Dusk...?
