Wasnt he due back something like 2 or weeks ago? when he broke his leg they said it would be 4-6 weeks & that was like 8 weeks ago.

Former Wallabies coach John Connolly has been hired by crisis-ridden Toulon, the French rugby union club of ex-NRL superstar Sonny Bill Williams.

The former Stade Francais and Australia boss has been invited by Toulon's millionaire owner Mourad Boudjellal to look into why the star-studded club are not living up to their potential.

The decision comes after Toulon's disappointing return to the elite division suffered another blow on Friday with a 42-20 hammering by Montauben.

It also follows the sacking of forwards coach Jean-Jacques Crenca last Monday, two days after a 21-17 defeat by Castres.

Boudjellal said then he was trying to "understand why things were not working" and would be hiring someone of international stature to help.

Connolly is expected to arrive in Toulon on Monday and will start talking to players and staff the following week.

Toulon now sit third last on the Top 14 table with just two wins from nine starts.

The big-spending newcomers conceded six tries to Montauben, including three to Fijian flier Vilimoni Delasau.

boudjellal: why isn't throwing my money around to buy big-name players bringing me immediate success? hmm, i'm going to throw more money around to buy a big-name coach, that should solve the problem
