Toulon has secured the services of England's Kyle Sinckler and Lewis Ludlam on long-term contracts, as confirmed by the club's president. The duo will be leaving Bristol Bears and Northampton Saints respectively to embark on three-year deals with the Top 14 side. President Bernard Lemaitre praised the signings, highlighting their attributes that align with Toulon's recruitment strategy focused on mentality and behavior. Sinckler and Ludlam, both international players, add significant experience to Toulon's lineup, joining a growing list of Premiership players making the move to France.

Their absence from England's recent Six Nations squad will be felt by head coach Steve Borthwick as they continue their careers in France.
