Newcastle provide the solution after Toulon's loss of Rhys Webb
By Online Editors
Tongan Sonatane Takulua has joined Toulon following the pre-Six Nations exit of Rhys Webb from the club.
The scrum-half passed his medical examination on Tuesday and signed a deal on Wednesday that will take him through to the end of the 2021/22 season.
Arriving from Newcastle, where he had been playing since 2015, the 29-year-old has 38 caps and featured in the last two World Cup including last October’s game with France in Japan.
Midi Olympique explained that while Takulua couldn’t join this season with a medical joker status, Toulon have benefitted for a waiver following the announcement that signing Nehe Milner-Skudder won’t be at the club until early next season due to injury back in New Zealand.
Milner-Skudder opened up in November about going into “dark places” in what he described as “one of the toughest years” of his life.

Israel Folau was a no show at a Dragons training session in Barcelona
Speaking at the opening of New Zealand’s first Suicide Prevention Office as an ambassador for Headfirst, he shared his personal experiences about the difficulties of dealing with the constant raft of injuries that have plagued him since he first burst onto the international scene.
“Out of all the injuries I’ve suffered, the many setbacks I’ve had in my career, this was by far the hardest to digest,” he said, speaking about his shoulder complications.
“I’d built up in my head what this year was going to look like and I watched it shatter in pieces right in front of me and there was nothing I could do about it.”

The purpose of the MP team is surely to benefit all parties involved.
This includes fostering a Pasifika base that can strengthen Tonga, Samoa, and the All Blacks. These goals are not mutually exclusive.
The claim of a "real purpose" seems like subterfuge for a self-centered agenda—insisting that NZ Rugby should bear all the sacrifices and reap none of the benefits.
If Seilala Mapusua believed the idea was different—thankfully, we don't live in a world where personal opinions override mutually agreed legal and policy commitments.
NZ Rugby is not a charitable organization. Its primary purpose should always be to benefit NZ Rugby. If it can assist others, that’s great, but it should not be held hostage to external demands.
Also, this is international rugby, not interracial rugby. The players in question are NZ-born, bred, and developed. The notion that NZ Rugby would agree to refrain from selecting NZ players who wish to represent New Zealand is not worth serious consideration.

I fell victim to a bitcoin fraud two months ago, where a scammer took $124,700 from my Cash App account. I was devastated. I made an independent attempt to retrieve it. I went online and read articles about getting my bitcoin back, there platform appeared legitimate, offered large profits, and had a polished appearance—until it wasn't. When they refused to allow me withdraw any of my money after I had invested a sizable amount of my cash, I knew I had been duped.
