 | Interview George Gregan Toulon April 2008 FRENCH Total Rugby paid a visit recently to the south of France to catch up with George Gregan, the Wallaby legend who is playing for Toulon since hanging up his international boots after the World Cup. Australia will always be home for George Gregan, but right now the former Wallaby and his young family are enjoying life in a different country, albeit one that feels a little bit familiar after his time in France during Rugby World Cup 2007. The south of France and Toulon in particular is the new challenge the world's most capped player with 139 Tests for Australia is currently enjoying, playing for the ambitious and star-studded club hoping to win promotion to the Top 14. "Being here during the World Cup was really important to just getting accustomed to the place," Gregan told Total Rugby. "The Wallabies were based a couple of hours down the road in Montpellier, so although we're sort of new in Toulon it's like we've been here for a while. "It's been a good experience in terms of getting out of what you know and that's Australia. Home is Australia for us, but we're just loving the experience." In his 11 seasons with the Brumbies and more than a decade in the gold of Australia the scrum half often found himself up against many of his new team-mates, including South African Victor Matfield and New Zealanders Anton Oliver and Andrew Mehrtens. "The superstar tag has been thrown about a bit by Mehrts. I've been playing against him since Under 19s so it's a great opportunity to play with him, a guy I've had massive respect for and love watching play and obviously respected playing against. Same with Victor, then all of a sudden you are able to play together. We've come from successful places and it's a really nice mix." The different style of play, though, has taken a little getting used to. A nice way to finish "The football in Pro D2 it's very set piece focused -- lots of driving mauls. The ball's not in play that much. You're probably not rewarded for trying to use the ball as much, so it can be very negative and frustrating -- that's a new experience," admitted the 34-year-old. "That's a new challenge for this group because we are one of only a handful of teams that play quite positively, probably about four teams I reckon who are positive and go out there to play rugby, the others are not so much that way inclined." Gregan is determined to help Toulon return to the top tier in France and while he brought down the curtain on his international career after Australia's quarter-final loss to England at RWC 2007, the World Cup winner is not ruling out staying on for another season. "I've really enjoyed the experience so far and if you get to the top they'd love to keep the team together and if the team did go up it would be good for them to stay up there," admitted Gregan. "Toulon deserves to stay up because it's going to be a very strong club and rightfully playing in the Top 14. There is that opportunity [for me to play on], it's just a matter of seeing how I feel physically. "So far I am feeling good and that would be a nice challenge, a nice way to finish the career, [but] f it finishes after this particular season I would be happy as well. The family's enjoyed every bit of it and we can always head home." |
