# RUGBY'S BOUDJELLAL SIGNS WITH EUROSPORT

**One of the most controversial and opinionated figures in the world of rugby union has joined Eurosport.**

Mourad Boudjellal, President of Top 14 giants RC Toulon, will front Mourad de Toulon – translated to Mourad of Toulon – a new short-form series that will see him fearlessly attack the key issues of the game.

From domestic rugby to the Six Nations, the French national team to European tournaments, no-one will be spared.

Boudjellal is the latest big name to join Eurosport’s stable of high-profile talent that already includes Eric Cantona and John McEnroe as the Commissioners of Football and Tennis respectively, as well as a list of star-studded athletes past and present such as Lindsey Vonn (winter sports), Ronnie O’Sullivan (snooker), Boris Becker (tennis) and Juan-Antonio Flecha (cycling).

Mourad de Toulon will launch on Eurosport.fr and French rugby website Rugbyrama as well as air on Eurosport’s weekly rugby show ‘Les Tontons Flankers’, starting on Thursday 7 December, with regular shows throughout the season.
