'We are not the mafia here. No one is going to attack his family'
By Online Editors
Julian Savea has confirmed his family has received threats concerning their young daughter, with his wife saying she fears for her and her daughter's life "with the amount of threats and hateful messages I have received from angry fans".
A Toulon fan responded to the pair: "We are not the mafia here. No one is going to attack his family. We have never had a history of that order here."
"We are not thugs or savages. Talk to your wife a little".
Savea retorted to the man asking him not to tell him what to do.
"Please don't tell me what to do kind sir," Savea politely replied.
"My wife wasn't speaking about all the fans or you or anyone on Twitter. She was talking about the ones who have messaged her with threats towards our daughter on Facebook and Instagram."
Savea continues to be left out of Toulon's matchday squad, watching Toulon's latest win over last-placed Perpignan from the stands.
Toulon head coach Patrice Collazo previously issued an ultimatum of sorts, saying Savea had nine games left to prove he was worth his million euro contract.
“Do I want Savea to be in Toulon next season?
“Julian is under contract. The important thing is for me the only truth of the field.
“I wish the best players for my club. He has nine games left to show his value,” Collazo said.
Without getting on the field, it is difficult to see how Savea will do that for the club.

we need a damaging 12 that takes 2 men to tackle that will take pressure off the 10 while also creating space for the 10 and 13 . Leicester is the only guy that fits the mould . The next thing is " will he be able to develop a good offload " ? .
for 13 Joey manu has more x factor then reiko and jordie put togeather . he's got one season in japan before he looks to come home . he's a dark horse but his skill set is something the All Blacks don't have . if he comes home and lights up the npc in a game or 2 , id love to see him fast tracked and come off the bench for the All Blacks and thrown into the deep end to see if he can swim . Just to see if he's worth the time and effort to develop further . We all saw how good sualii did for the wallabies and joey manu is just as good as sualii . He's safe under the high ball , a solid defender , has a master offload , and he's fast and strong .
he fits the mould for razor's offload tactics .
Plus reiko and jordie have had the 12 & 13 for how long and I haven't seen anything special from either of them .
