So long, Toulon for Savea

FORMER New Zealand winger Julian Savea is free to go and not welcome at Toulon anymore after his performance in a 19-10 defeat by Agen, the Top 14 club’s president said.

“I’m going to ask for a DNA test. They must have swapped him on the plane (when he joined from Hurricanes). If I were him I would apologise and go back to my home country,” Mourad Boudjellal told French radio RMC.

“I’ve told him he was free to go and wasn’t welcome at Toulon anymore.”

Savea, a 2015 World Cup winner, joined last year. Toulon are languishing in 11th place in the French league.
