Cheslin Kolbe set for major positional switch for Toulouse
- 11159
World Cup winning winger Cheslin Kolbe may have light up the World Cup final with his stellar try to seal the victory but this weekend he will trade his #14 jersey for a #10 jersey.
Koble will now start at flyhalf against Top 14 giants Racing 92 after a selection crisis hit the club.
The fleetfooted back will line up outside Sébastien Bézy at 9 and inside powerful inside centre Pita Ahki.
