Contepomi set to depart for Toulon

ARGENTINIAN star fly-half Felipe Contepomi will quit Leinster at the end of the season to link up with French side Toulon.

Leinster confirmed the decision last night. Contepomi, who has scored 1,193 points in 111 appearances for Leinster, has agreed a four-year deal with the French side.

The Pumas captain said: “This is one of the hardest decisions that I have ever had to make in my career. I spoke with my family about it at length, but I feel that the end of this season is the best time to make a new start. I have played some of the best years of my career with Leinster. They are the team that I have played with the longest in my career.
