England forward confirmed by French outfit

Toulon have confirmed the signing of veteran England lock Simon Shaw as a "medical joker". The experienced 38-year-old was released from his contract at Wasps at the start of the month, with Shaw expected to make the move to the Top 14. And Toulon have now completed a deal to bring in Shaw, who was part of England's World Cup squad in New Zealand, until the end of the season. Shaw, who will now team up with England team-mate Jonny Wilkinson at Toulon, was officially unveiled by the club on Monday alongside Australia playmaker Matt Giteau. Giteau, who was controversially overlooked for the World Cup, arrives on a three-year deal.
