Noah Lolesio’s brilliance on the field delighted fans during Toulon’s win over Racing 92 on Monday. After a quick lineout, his cut-out pass led to a well-taken try. Lolesio, who wasn’t utilized by Eddie Jones throughout 2023, took the opportunity to play for Toulon on a short-term deal. He will have to outshine Jack Debreczeni upon his return to Canberra.
