TANA - TOULON NO MATCH MADE IN HEAVEN

By the sounds of things, Tana's storied arrival as the guy who would bring Toulon out of the rugby cellar in France is not going as planned. Even bringing in Tana's Wellington and All Black cohort Jerry Collins and sneaking in former league star Sonny Bill Williams has not brought respect for the team. What's next for Tana? Club President Mourad Boudjellal is forcing the issue by bringing in South Africa head coach Jake White to give Umaga a few pointers. Or will this just be a major distraction for a guy who has only had a year and a few months to work with a team that was horrible to begin with? Give the guy a break. Its his first coaching gig and you can't expect him to turn it around immediately, even with all the money you're throwing around!
