3 Things To Know About Toulon Rugby

Toulon Rugby, three-time European champions, targets Top 14 playoffs in 2025–26. Matches stream live on FloRugby.

Sep 5, 2025 by Joe Harrington

RC Toulon Rugby remains one of the most recognized clubs in French rugby, with supporters expecting another competitive year in the Top 14.

After finishing 15-0-11 last season, Toulon showed flashes of quality but also moments of inconsistency that prevented a deeper playoff run.

The 2025–26 season offers a clean slate. Toulon opens on the road against Montpellier before returning home to Stade Mayol against Castres. With a squad blending internationals and seasoned Top 14 veterans, the club enters another campaign with ambition. The presence of both proven leaders and developing talent gives Toulon the tools to contend.

Home-field advantage will again be critical. Mayol is among the most distinctive grounds in French rugby, known for its proximity to the harbor and the unique atmosphere it generates. As the season progresses, Toulon will need to capitalize on that advantage while also addressing challenges on the road.

For fans tracking the club, three particular storylines stand out as defining elements heading into this campaign.

Ma’a Nonu Still Competing at 43

Few players remain active at the top level past 40, yet Ma’a Nonu continues to push boundaries. At 43 years old, the All Blacks legend is closing in on 100 appearances with Toulon, cementing his role as the oldest player in the Top 14.

International Depth Across the Squad

Toulon’s roster features key foreign internationals, from Kyle Sinckler of England to Paolo Garbisi of Italy. The mix extends across positions, giving Toulon an international spine to support French leaders such as Charles Ollivon and Gabin Villiere.

European Pedigree

The club’s three consecutive Champions Cup titles between 2013 and 2015 remain unmatched in modern rugby. Toulon added a Challenge Cup trophy in 2023, underscoring their enduring ability to compete across competitions.
