Boudjellal: Toulon can dominate Europe for years to come

Toulon president Mourad Boudjellal wants his team to beat Leinster at the Stade Félix Mayol this weekend to confirm their arrival as giants of European rugby.

Boudjellal, who made his millions from Marvel-style comics and then dedicated himself to taking his hometown back to the top of French rugby, also claimed it was the biggest game in the club’s history. Although he made the same claim twice last year — ahead of the Heineken Cup quarter-final against Leicester and final against Clermont — he added that a positive result against Toulon would reward their fans with a ‘home’ semi-final.

“For me, this is the most important game in the history of RCT [Rugby Club Toulon] because the European Cup did not exist at the time of the great teams of the RCT,” he told Toulon newspaper Var Matin.
