TRANSFER. TOP 14. Selevasio Tolofua (Toulouse) en route to Toulon
RUGBY. French team. Selevasio Tolofua, condemned not to be called?After Cheslin Kolbe, Toulon is about to have another Toulouse player in its ranks. According to information from RMC, Selevasio Tolofua will join the Toulon Rugby Club. Double champion of France and European champion in 2021, the third line would have signed a three-year contract with the Var formation. Which seems to prepare after Parisse and Bastareaud. Tolofua will be out of contract in 2023. In Toulon, he could have more playing time and become one of the players the club is counting on to get back to the top. He will notably play with his brother Christopher. That would have weighed in the balance.RUGBY. Why did Facundo never become the best number 8 in the Top 14? In Toulon, he will be in competition with Facundo Isa, but his versatility in the third line could give him more place on the team sheet. Despite excellent club performances, he failed to establish himself in the France team. At 25, he has probably missed the 2023 World Cup train, but he could very well apply for the Australian deadline in 2027. After seven years in Toulouse, Selevasio Tolofua will discover a new working environment and of daily life. Maybe that’s what he needed to progress. In Toulouse, he won in the 2020/21 season with 17 starts in 24 games in all competitions. If he played 30 games last year, he only posted about fifty minutes on the meadow on average. Will he be able to win over the long term in Toulon?
