Wales fly-half Dan Biggar only arrived at Toulon four months ago but he has quickly made himself a fan favourite on the Cote d'Azur with a little help from Jonny Wilkinson's French teacher.
Japan full-back Kotaro Matsushima said on Thursday he "can't wait" to return to the Test scene after a potentially busy end to the Top 14 season with Clermont which starts by hosting La Rochelle this weekend. The former New Zealand back-rower will leave La Rochelle at the end of the season to replace Franck Azema at Stade Marcel-Michelin.
