Hayman takes over at Toulon

Saturday 26 Jul 2014

Experienced former All Black tighthead prop has been named as the new captain of European champions Toulon.

The 34-year-old front row forward takes over from World Cup-winning England flyhalf legend Jonny Wilkinson who retired at the end of last season.

Hayman arrived at Toulon in 2010 having played 45 times for the All Blacks.

He will be supported by Argentina captain Juan Martin Fernandez Lobbe and fellow Kiwi Chris Masoe.

"We have decided to designate Carl Hayman as captain. He will be assisted by Chris Masoe and Juan Martin Fernandez Lobbe," said team boss Bernard Laporte.
