Toulon coach sacked

Toulon forwards coach Aubin Hueber was relieved of his duties on Wednesday as a result of the club failing to reach the Top 14 play-offs.

Club president Mourad Boudjellal had warned that there would be changes among the coaching staff while retaining his confidence in Head Coach Philippe Saint-Andre.

The most likely replacement for Hueber is Serge Milhas, who is presently scrum coach at relegated La Rochelle.

"In agreement with Aubin Hueber, the Toulon board has decided to relieve him of all duties related to the coaching staff," said a club statement.

"Aubin Hueber will nevertheless stay at the disposal of the club and will be given other duties within it."

The club also announced the signing of two Fijian loose forwards from ProD2 clubs - 33-year-old Sevania Rokobaro from Aix-en-Provence and 29-year-old Jone Tawake from Narbonne.

Possibly Boudjallel should come to realise that you can't just buy success.

Rather than blaming the coaches, just a thought.

Loki - can't argue with that. Don't think a lot of people are going to feel sympathy with Toulon for not making the play offs. Seems a tad harsh on the forwards coach though - or have their forwards really just been performing that badly?

Lots of poor decisions going on. Taking Umaga as a coach was obviously a bad idea before he even landed.
