    He's having a decent game for a guy who hasn't played for 12 months. He just set up a 90 metre try for Palisson off a quick turnover.

    Some Toulon fans on a forum are so pleased with Rocky's performance that they want to see him in the 23 for the Heineken Cup Final.

    However if Elsom only has an Australian passport, that will be an issue with "no more than two 'foreign' players" rule. Apparently Carl Hayman and JMF Lobbe are the two non-Kolpak players so Rocky would have to be selected instead of one of those two players in order to be eligible. That's unlikely.

    However it's great to see him back on the pitch and performing. I doubt Toulon will hold onto him because of their depth in the backrow but hopefully he will find another top level club in Europe.

    A Toulon forum told me that Rocky has signed a deal until 2015 with Toulon.

    According to here, Elsom will not stay at Toulon. He will either sign for Narbonne (where he is a shareholder) or return to Australia. He has proven his match fitness anyway so he'll hopefully get a few more years out of rugby.

    Is Matt Williams still coaching them?
