Toulon, Highlanders in talks for Hong Kong match

Toulon propose talks to hold a match against Super Rugby champions Highlanders in Hong Kong next year.

European champions Toulon have said that they are close to confirming a match in Hong Kong against Super Rugby champions Highlanders.

The French club have proposed similar games against Southern Hemisphere teams over the past two seasons but they have fallen through.

"Obviously it's a significant opportunity and it would be the first time the Highlanders have matched up against a European side," Highlanders general manager Roger Clark told reporters.

"It's fair to say the coaching group are excited by the prospect. While there are still a number of operational and compliance issues to work through we do have agreement in principle."

The match would take place shortly before the start of the 2016 Super Rugby season and would coincide with the opening round of next year's Six Nations.

Toulon have won three successive European crowns while the Highlanders won their first ever Super Rugby title last year.
