Fekitoa knows Toulon must beat Thomond numbers game

Everything may be rosy at Toulon following a 49-0 win over Clermont, but as they prepare to storm Thomond Park tomorrow, All Black Malakai Fekitoa has warned his superstar team-mates to expect a different challenge altogether from Munster.

The 25-year-old centre, who put his 20-cap Test career on hold to join Toulon last November, faces a Champions Cup debut in Limerick tomorrow afternoon and, though he has noticed an increase in commitment levels from his new teammates in recent weeks, Fekitoa is guarding against complacency in his squad after such a thumping victory in the Top14 last Sunday, a game in which he scored two tries.

“I have just got here, obviously, but over the last couple of weeks it has been a lot better at training. The team are working hard, compared to when I first arrived, everyone is having fun and enjoying themselves. I think that is a good sign, but you never know, until we meet a better team, the likes of Munster have been playing really well and winning too,” said Fekitoa.
