The opening half of Montpellier and Italy, Paolo Garbisi, will now wear the Toulon jersey in the Top 14.
It’s quite rare in rugby but this season, Christopher Tolofua left Toulon before the end of his contract to join Montpellier. This movement seemed inevitable, the hooker insisted and no longer wished to prolong the adventure on the side of the Harbor. At the end of January, rumors of a exchange between the RCT and the MHR for Christopher Tolofua and Paolo Garbisi leaked. Denied initially by the Var team, this information was indeed well and truly founded because it has been official since this Thursday, the Italian fly-half took the opposite route and therefore committed himself to the Rouge et Noir.
“Paolo Garbisi is from Toulon and will join the Rouge et Noir group after the 6 Nations Tournament” can we read in an RCT post on X. The opening half of Italy will probably wear the number 10 of the Squadra Azzurra against the XV of France on February 25 in Lille, as during the first two outings of the Transalpines against England and Ireland. However, it is unknown whether he will play in his preferred position in the Var. Pierre Mignoni has Welsh international Dan Biggar and Enzo Hervé at his disposal. An abundance of goods which could well move him to the position of first center, a completely plausible possibility given that he has already played in this position in Montpellier alongside Louis Carbonel.
A Brennus with Montpellier in 2022
After the Rugby World Cup which he played with Italy, Paolo Garbisi played nine Top 14 matches and three in the European Challenge with the MHR. Far from his performance in previous seasons, however, he only found the goal once and had little impact on the matches. He will try to breathe new life into his career in Toulon, and why not try to conquer a second Brennus Shield. In 2022, he greatly contributed to the first coronation in the history of Montpellier.
