Toulon targeting top talent

Rob Wildman in the Daily Mail reports that Jonny Wilkinson could be one in a long line of international stars to be targeted by French side Toulon.

"Toulon owner Mourad Boudjellal has promised further big-name signings to follow the decision of Jonny Wilkinson to stay at the French club.

'We are in contact with some of the biggest names on earth. Some will come,’ he said after Wilkinson agreed a new two-year deal, adding: ‘Jonny is more a man of Toulon than anybody else.’

Toulon are chasing flanker Rocky Elsom, who helped Leinster to the Heineken Cup
title in 2009, to replace former Wallaby colleague George Smith who has not settled and has reportedly agreed to join Japanese club Sanyo Wild Knights next summer.

Other names being linked to Toulon are Sale’s Andrew Sheridan and Wales wing Shane Williams."
