Toulon sign Umaga and Luger
Former New Zealand captain Tana Umaga has put pen to paper on a short-term contract with Toulon of France in what is believed to be one of the most lucrative deals of professional rugby's short history.
Toulon were relegated from the Top 14 last season but are intent on making an immediate return to France's premier division, and reports suggest the Umaga will be joined at the Stade Mayol by former England wing Dan Luger and Fiji fly-half Seremaia Bai.

It'll end in tears I reckon:
"The money is coming directly from their two new investors and "co-presidents" Mourad Boudjellal and Stephane Lelievre. The pair took over the club in May.
"I am paying for Umaga myself ... I feel I have a mission for my town and I offer Umaga to Toulon," Boudjellal has said."

Well fair play to the lads for fronting so much cash, a lot of Irish sides would be happy to have a pair of benefactors willing to flash the cash for big names.
still tho a 33yr old and a 31 yr old, not exactly a long term strategy.
