Ollivon à Toulon jusqu’en 2027
Le troisième-ligne français Charles Ollivon a posé les jalons de son avenir rugbystique en signant un contrat de quatre ans qui le lie à Toulon jusqu’en 2027.
Ollivon a débuté sa carrière professionnelle à Bayonne, sa ville natale, en 2012 avant de signer à Toulon en 2015. Le troisième-ligne de presque 2 mètres et 108 kg s’est rapidement hissé en équipe de France, décrochant sa première cape en 2015. Il compte aujourd’hui 39 sélections et a été capitaine du XV de France lors du Tournoi des Six Nations de 2020, menant l’équipe à la deuxième place.
Au cours des années qui ont suivi, il a consolidé sa position de leader comme l’un des meilleurs joueurs français. Si bien que le RCT a décidé de l’engager pour quatre saisons supplémentaires, ce qui lui permettra de rester jusqu’à son 34e anniversaire. Cela lui permettra également de poursuivre sa carrière jusqu’à la fin de l’actuel cycle de la Coupe du Monde de Rugby.
Toulon, sa deuxième maison
« Toulon est devenu ma deuxième maison, et je suis honoré de continuer à porter ce maillot emblématique », a déclaré Charles Ollivon dans un communiqué du club.
« Je suis impatient de contribuer davantage au succès de l’équipe et de partager d’autres très grands moments avec nos supporters exceptionnels. C’était important de partager cette annonce avec eux aujourd’hui, car ils sont notre plus grand soutien au quotidien. C’est donc une façon de les remercier d’être toujours derrière nous. »
Le directeur sportif de Toulon, Laurent Emmanuelli, a décrit Ollivon comme une figure centrale du club. « Charles incarne l’esprit du Rugby Club Toulonnais, par son engagement, son talent et sa volonté d’atteindre l’excellence. Nous sommes ravis de poursuivre cette aventure avec lui jusqu’en 2027 et sommes convaincus que son impact positif continuera à se propager auprès de ses partenaires sur et en dehors du terrain. De ce point de vue, le rôle de Charles en tant que capitaine et catalyseur de l’équipe est prépondérant. »
Le RCT s’est également attaché les services du pilier américain David Ainu’u. Comme Ollivon, le joueur de première-ligne des USA Eagles de 1,78 m et 125 kg a signé jusqu’en 2027.
Toulon est actuellement deuxième du Top 14 – à un point du leader Racing 92 – après neuf journées marquées par six victoires et trois défaites. Le prochain match aura lieu le samedi 23 décembre à Toulouse.

The author is 100% right. The Springboks know that they don't have near the natural attraction, mana, skill and mystic the All Blacks have. So, Chasing the sun 1 & 2 was concocted to overblow the Boks image on the back of a corruptly obtained “win". It's marketing ploy to force the Boks delusion as the World's Best. I guess World Rugby is also not to be believed when it came out with an apology about how the final was officiated. And if the 2023 final such a superb game by the Boks, then the Boks crying about Referee Bryce Lawrence for decades is also deserves a laugh. Chase the sun and get burned like a moth. A very well written literary piece that tore the Boks and Chasing the sun farce to shreds. 🖤All Blacks🏉

Joubert simply refused to call a penalty against the All Blacks in the last quarter even directing an All Black to drop a ball he picked up in an offside position rather than penalizing him. This article also totally discounts the efforts of PSTD. Ask Jordie how well he played. Or the backup flank who played hooker for the entire game. Siya was also a brilliant tackle by Richie from scoring a blinder. Pollard was also fantastic. Look I don’t like the boks style but the only thing more questionable than the content of this article is the timing of it. Get over it already

141 Go to commentsThis is the single worst piece of journalism I have ever seen since your last one. As a neutral, who really states that there should be an asterisk next to a win? You are an utter embarrassment to real AB fans, journalism and that joke of a house which pays you for this nonsense. Get a life, Ben.
141 Go to commentsGuys. Cancel the World Cup champions after this analysis. It changes everything. Ben knows. We’ll have to unengrave the Bokke off the trophy and hand it to the ABs, now that I’ve been enlightened about this illegitimate win. This needs to be done. Now!
141 Go to commentsBen is right here though, Springboks were woefully poor with the advantage they had throughout this game. The France match was heroic because that was an even contest this match had it taken place in Rugby Championship would have been an easy win for NZ. If anything this match should tell the Bok coaches that a lot of this team should be changed. They beat this same NZ team by record margin with the same circumstances but with a different core. They bring back the tried and tested guys and they nearly botch this game.
141 Go to commentsI knew who wrote this article from the first few words in the headline…lol. The red card actually did the ABs a favour. It galvanized them, only then did they step up a gear. Before that there was zero momentum.
141 Go to commentsFirstly the foul on Bongi was a planned move just like the NZ master plan with Bryce Lawrence you kiwis are filthy fux perhaps try to play a cleaner game next time I doubt that’s possible tho but don’t worry world rugby is on yr side they trying to take away all the BOKS strengths to help all you weakling as Jeremy Clarkson would say LA OO ZA ERR..🤣
141 Go to commentsAbsolutely spot on Ben. I certainly wouldn't gloat over a win like that. Frustrating as it is it's done and dusted and history will forever show the result.
141 Go to commentsHo hum.
141 Go to commentsNo question they were the better team. But that is the beauty of sport isn’t it!
141 Go to commentsEveryone is into Hurling in Ireland according to Porter, but only 11 of Ireland's 32 counties enter a team into the national competition. Same old blarney.
1 Go to commentsLet’s be honest. The draw and scheduling in the World Cup was a joke but South Africa found a way after having to go the hard (nearly impossible) way to the Cup Final via France and England. NZ had a hard game against France (lost) and had 5 weeks to prepare for the Quarter, 3 weeks knowing it was Ireland. NZ theerfore had to win one big game against an Irish team who played SA and then Scotland 7 days before. They won and it was de facto a semi final because they were playing a relatively weak Argentina team and it was a walk over. In the final a very rested NZ team was playing a very tired SA team and still lost. They couldn’t score more than 11 points. Put another way SA had to find a way to win while tired and they achieved that. NZ should thank their lucky stars that they fixed the scheduling in 2015 otherwise they would be dealing with a Bok treble.
141 Go to commentsPerhaps if Bongi wasn’t targeted and removed from the game in the first 3 minutes it would have been quite a different game. Maybe if NZ also faced the same competition the Boks faced to their win NZ would have looked quite different. The final score shows who outplayed who.
141 Go to commentsRubbish article! Abuladze played most of Exeters matches when fit. He got injured against Glasgow a while ago and is out for the rest of the season, thats why he hasnt played for Exeter and Georgia recently. Do some proper research next time!
