Brumbies Star George Smith has exchanged the Super 14 for the Top 14 by signing a one year deal with French Top 14 club Toulon.
Smith is the Wallabies most capped forward but retired from Australian rugby at the end of the Super 14 season.
The 110 cap Wallaby played for the Brumbies for 10 years and won two John Eales Medals, eight Brett Robinson awards for the ACT's players player, four consecutive Australian Super 14 player of the year awards and was picked in the Wallabies team of the decade.
The 29-year-old will now join a Toulon pack already bolstered by Kiwi prop Carl Hayman, Bourgoin front-row duo Jean-Philippe Genevois and Karena Wihongi and Sale second-rower Dean Schofield.
In the backs, Albi's Benjamin Lapeyre and England's world cup wing Paul Sackey have also joined the club.
