Elsewhere Dragons are looking to relocate the second Toronto game here -  27th June - possibly to either Marseille or Toulon. The latter at Stade Mayol may be prefered as there is a local second tier club there  run by former Dragons winger Justin Murphy. Also too SB Williams played in Toulon in the Top 14 between 2008-10.

Have you got a source for this? We’re looking at booking flights soon for the Toronto game on 27th June.

Toulon sounds perfect then ?

I once sat next to Justin Murphy at the Grand Final. It was the 2006 Grand Final and I was 15. He’d just had that belter of a season, scoring a load of tries and getting in the Super League Dream Team and my Dad asked why he was amongst the normal fans and that he would have thought he’d have been treated to corporate seats. Murphy said he wanted to be amongst the proper fans and sample the atmosphere. He was a nice bloke and was really chatty.

It's being picked up by the other media now as well:

Hopefully it means that the match will definitely move to at least one of the venues.

Considering SBW previously played for Toulon that would make selling the game there easy, however I'd love to see Catalan's take on the challenge and try and set a new SL club attendance record (especially after only doing it 12 months ago).
