After Ollivon, Toulon deprived of Don't be afraid
The RCT faces a new tile. After Charles Ollivon, Toulon must deal with the absence of Duncan Paia'aua. The center will be away from the field for three months.
It was Pierre Mignoni who confirmed the news this Friday, specifying that the player had undergone cervical surgery. A necessary intervention, but which could complicate the rotation at the end of the season.
End of contract: an uncertain future
At the end of his contract at the end of the season, Duncan Paia'aua could well have played his last match in the colors of the RCT. Although the player recently expressed his desire to extend the adventure in Toulon, this injury changes the cards.
At 29, he must convince management that he deserves a new contract, but this medical setback could complicate negotiations. According to the latest rumors, it will not be extended by its leaders.
-Last summer, USAP was already on the move to recover the center. A departure to Perpignan would be an option if Toulon officially decided not to extend it. In the meantime, Duncan Paia'aua will have to focus on his rehabilitation.
For Toulon, it's time to close ranks and adapt. Between injuries and contractual uncertainties, the path to the summits of the Top 14 and the Champions Cup promises to be strewn with pitfalls.
But the Var team is regaining color under the leadership of players like Dréan, Serin and Ribbans. Which is considered one of the best second lines in the Top 14, if not the best ahead of heavyweights like Meafou and Skelton.
