Manoa, Fernández Lobbe to start for Toulon

A week on from the Bronze Final Juan Martín Fernández Lobbe will play again, making his first appearance for Toulon this season. The now retired Puma has been named at the back of the scrum while USA Eagles star Samu Manoa will make his second appearance for the club at lock.

Toulon has not started the season well due, in large part, to having had players missing to World Cup duty. In addition to Manoa and Fernández Lobbe the club now has the services of players from France and Georgia while Australia’s Quade Cooper will join Manoa in debuting.
