The 25-year-old number nine, who has 14 caps with the XV du Thistle since 2022, arrives from London Irish. He also wore the jersey of Leicester, of which he was the youngest player launched in professional at 17 years old. “Although we were aiming for a JIFF player to compensate for the departure of Benoit Paillaugue, the opportunity to recruit a player of Ben White’s caliber seemed obvious to us. He will bring us his speed, his technical quality and his game intelligence, ”explained Var manager Pierre Mignoni in a press release.
This is RC Toulon’s seventh recruit after the already confirmed arrivals of David Ribbans, Selevasio Tolofua, Yannick Youyoutte, Esteban Abadie, Enzo Hervé and Leicester Fainga’anuku. Ben White will join the Var after the 2023 World Cup which he should play with the Scottish selection.
