What's going on at Toulon???

Post by trendylfj »

An excellent win for Edinburgh today but why did Toulon only have a squad with only 7 substitutes? We are worried about our club but it seems to me that Toulon are in a hell of a mess. How long will their rich daddy stay I wonder???

Good question and who’s got the answer ? They are currently 12th in the Top14 and are now surely out of the Champions’ cup so coach Patrice Collazo must be getting nervous. Yet it was only the season before last that Richard Cockerill took them to the final of the Top 14. I think they lack an emblematic player like Bakkies Botha or Sir Jonny to gel the players into a team that works for each other. As for Mourad Bodjellal, his patience won’t last, but who would take on the poison chalice if Collazo were to go ?
