European champions Toulon held a press conference at their training ground this afternoon and, wouldn't you know it, a certain Irish legend was the guest of honour.
The Ireland captain made the switch from Munster to Toulon in June and is recovering from a hamstring injury sustained at the world Cup. He hopes to feature for his new club in February 2016.
The 36 year old is currently in the South of France for his official unveiling and a natter with the press.

Speaking to SportsJOE over the summer, Simon Zebo told us O'Connell would be sorely missed.
Zebo said, 'It was quite strange. Paul's his own man and he has done a hell of a lot for Munster and Ireland and he, as much as anybody, has earned the right to experience something new and broaden his horizons. Fair play to him. It was a big decision for him to up and move his family.
'He will be a massive success over there and I just wish him all the best."
See if you can spot Paulie in the official team photo.
