Toulon has reorganized its team for the upcoming match against Edinburgh, with several players making their season debut. Players like Antoine Frisch and captain Jérémy Sinzelle, who had been sidelined at the start of the season, are now expected to play a key role in the game.

New faces in the starting lineup

Patrick Tuifua makes his competition debut as the starting number 8, while Beka Gigashvili starts on the right side of the front row. Apete Narogo, a rugby sevens player from Fiji, starts on the left wing alongside compatriot Setariki Tuicuvu and Melvyn Jaminet.

First starts for key players

Antoine Frisch and Jérémy Sinzelle both make their first starts of the season in the center positions. The backline is completed by Matéo Garcia and captain Ben White, while Zach Mercer moves to the wing of the third line, making way for Tuifua.

Toulon's history against Edinburgh

Toulon has not yet beaten Edinburgh in their previous encounters, with the Scots winning their last three matches against the French team. The most recent encounter was in December 2025, when Edinburgh won 33-20 during the first day of the Champions Cup.

Toulon's recent performance

Toulon has a mixed record in the Top 14, with two wins in their last five matches, including a 29-15 victory over Racing 92. However, they have suffered five consecutive losses in away games, while Edinburgh has won four of their last five matches, including a perfect start in the URC.

Toulon's challenge ahead

Toulon faces a tough challenge in Edinburgh, where the Scottish team has only lost two of their last five home matches. The Varois will need to overcome their historical struggles against Edinburgh to secure a win.
