Official Burrda Sport RC Toulonnaise home rugby shirt from the 2014/15 season.
This Burrda Sports' 'player issue' version of the jersey, as worn by the players. It features a slim fitting design, reinforced stitching around the collar (for increased durability), textured grip assist on the chest (to aid ball control), a soft pouch sewn into the back of the collar (used to house a GPS device that tracks a players' performance), a rubber hem on the lower part of the garment (designed to prevent shirt pulling).
The condition of this original rugby jersey is 9/10 – Superb (see photos).
Back in Pro D2 for the 2006–07 season, Toulon finish fourth in the league, putting them in the promotion playoffs for a place in the Top 14, but they lost in the promotion semi-finals 21–17 at La Rochelle. The following season Toulon headed the table from early on, never dropping from the top spot on their way to clinching promotion with two rounds to spare. The 2008–09 season proved to be one of consolidation.
Umaga had been handed the coaching reins, but as Boudjellal would later say, "The first season in the Top 14 was very difficult and I learned that Tana Umaga was not yet ready to give up playing – and that he's not a manager."
The team managed to survive that season, using a late-season surge to avoid a relegation scare. Toulon had a much more successful 2009–10 campaign, with Wilkinson leading the charge. He would be named the top fly-half of the year in France by leading rugby publication Midi Olympique, and would also be recalled to the England national team.
