Kolbe says sayonara to Toulon and France

Looks like Kolbe managed to wiggle out of his final year in France. Still unknown where he will end up but it will definitely not be Kraaifontein. 

Rumours have it that his next move will be Japan. Cheslin did mention money in France is restricted. Definitely thinking he is going for a cash grab. 

That said, which rugby player wants to play in France when you can make more money in Japan and play half the amount of rugby. He may even be able to extend his bok career. 

French clubs is still playing when all of Europe has ended their season

Good for him and his family.

Worth every dime that he can squeeze out of the Japs.

Japan is amazing, he'll have a blast. He will also be above average tall and no longer the small guy

5"7 is average height in Japan. 

Yup, he should fit right in. I love Japan, although, kept having to duck. Even on the bullet train you have to dip your head. I think in the west our floors are 2 m standard. I think there it is 180. 

I’m 188. But those that are even taller will have a hard time. 

Even on the buses I had to sit on the back seat. 

That said, that country works so well
