Rumours of Sean O'Brien moving to France have re-surfaced today with reports the Leinster and Ireland back row could be off to European champions Toulon. It's believed O'Brien will go to France later this week to hold talks with the top 14 side. The Tullow Tank who's currently sidelined by a shoulder injury, has been courted by a number of clubs, with Toulon the main interest. Meanwhile Jamie Heaslip met with Toulon during his Christmas break, while Munster's Donnacha Ryan visited Perpignan and London Irish before turning both down to stay in Ireland on a three-year deal. The Leinster duo are yet to commit their future to the province and Ireland despite talks with the IRFU, with the Union hoping to have all of their transfer business done by the start of the Six Nations.
