From Coogee to Carqueiranne - a Year in Provence for Giteau

As the Wallabies prepare to take on the Barbarians this weekend, discarded playmaker Matt Giteau is set to make his debut for French rugby side Toulon against Castres. The 29-year-old only touched down in France this month but, having trained fastidiously throughout the World Cup in case he was needed by coach Robbie Deans, Giteau arrived in Toulon as fit as he's ever been. The Inside Back understands he will wear the No.12 jumper outside the England five-eighth Jonny Wilkinson. Inside centre is the same position All Blacks star Sonny Bill Williams played for the side, and Giteau will play alongside his childhood friend and fellow former Wallaby Matt Henjak.
