By Ian Cameron
Top 14 big spenders Toulon are reported to have set their targets on one of French rugby’s most promising talents.

Fullback Melvyn Jaminet is reportedly being linked to a move to the Toulon from Toulouse. The 24-year-old Jaminet finds himself in a challenging position, sitting behind the accomplished fullback Thomas Romas at both club and international levels.
According to Midi Olympic, sources close to the situation have revealed that early discussions are underway between Jaminet’s representatives and Rugby Club Toulonnais (RCT) regarding a possible switch next season.
Although no official or unofficial statements have been released by either party, the rumours will no doubt ignite a buzz among fans of France’s top-flight competition.
Jaminet’s talent and potential have not gone unnoticed in recent years, with the talented sweeper winning 15 caps to date for France. He has showcased exceptional skills as a fullback, earning his place as a reliable backup to Romas for Toulouse.
However, the desire to secure a regular starting spot could be the driving force behind Jaminet’s potential move to Toulon. With RCT’s commitment to rebuilding and strengthening their squad under new owner Bernard Lemaitre, Jaminet’s arrival would certainly bolster their backline and provide the young talent with the game time he must surely crave.
While Toulouse would undoubtedly be reluctant to part with Jaminet, the lure of Toulon and more game time may prove too enticing for the player.

This goes back to the 2nd test against the Lions. Look at the results against SA, Lions,English,France and Irish. ABs only win 30% of the big games. Way to much player power from Savea, Smith,BB and Cane. Savea has never been an 8. Cane has always been average. Smith can pass, nothing else. BB was the greatest player on the planet until 2017. Now he is alful to watch and has been for 5 years. They bring in young players, don't play them enough and take them to a world cup ie. Williams. Really ? Foster is and has always been a coach that is desperate for approval and wants to be liked. He should never have been appointed. He has done to the ABs what he did with the chiefs. Nothing! It was all over years ago. Razor will make a huge difference.
Go to commentsWhat absolute bollocks! Libbock is a maestro at flyhalf and has transformed the Springbok backline into an amazing unit. Pollard cannot do that. Poor captain decision to not rather go for the corners and use the Bok strengths to go for 7. They did not back themselves.
