Toulon is a city based in Southern France, the club Toulon RC is based in this city and was set up in 1908, 108 years ago.  They play in the Stade Mayol which holds about 15,000 people, but due to their recent success in most competitions they compete in they have moved to the Stade Velodrome in Marseille which holds about 60,000 people.  They played 5 matches there between 2008-2011, but now they play most matches there. 
In the early 2000's the club was struggling massively.  They were relegated into the Pro D2 which is the second division in France.  Mourad Boudjellal then bought the club and promised to invent a new team.  He started signing world class players from the southern hemisphere as they brought more flare and talent to the team.  He brought in players like Tana Umaga and Dan Luger of Zealand an South Africa.  These players wages were a massive amount of money for that time.  This then started a trend and Toulon are still buying foreign players from the Southern Hemisphere, I have pointed this out in my last two blogs.
