Paul O'Connell's life in France has begun as he was unveiled as a Toulon player earlier at a press conference at Stade Mayol.
The 36 year old is nursing a horrific hamstring injury that ruled him out of the final game of Ireland's World Cup campaign against Argentina. The former Munster man is, however, eyeing a return to action by the end of the year.

O'Connell, who has over 100 caps for Ireland, agreed to a €1 million a year, two year deal in June. He met his new team-mates, visited the team's training facilities and was photographed in a Toulon jersey today before the press conference.
