RC Toulonnais (in full Rugby Club Toulonnais, with only "Rugby" capitalized in French; also known as RCT or just Toulon) is a French professional rugby union club based in Toulon in Provence-Alpes-Côte d'Azur. A current participant in the first-tier Top 14 competition, they have won the national competition on three occasions. Established in 1908, Toulon currently play their home games at the Stade Mayol, although they have begun to take high-profile matches to the 60,000-seat Stade Vélodrome in Marseille, playing one match there in 2008–09 and two in both 2009–10 and 2010–11. The club colours are red and black. Toulon were Pro D2 champions in 2005, but after finishing 14th in the 2005-06 Top 14 season, they were relegated back down. After signing a number of high profile players, the club made a strong run at promotion in the 2006–07 season, and succeeded in their promotion quest in 2007–08, winning that season's Pro D2 crown with two rounds to spare. They struggled to avoid relegation for much of the 2008–09 Top 14 season, but a late-season surge brought them on peace and safety.
The Harlequin Football Club was founded in 1866 (although the first recorded game was not until 1867) as Hampstead Football Club and renamed in 1870. This, according to which story you believe, has two accounts. The first is that there was a meeting under a street lamp at two o'clock in the morning in Hampstead! The second and more believable story is that the name was changed when the membership was no longer a purely local one. The club have won the Rugby Football Union Clubs knockout competition on two occasions. The John Player Cup in 1988 and Pilkington Cup in 1991. In addition they played in the finals of 1992, 1993 and 2001. Quins became the first British side to win the European Shield in 2001, defeating Narbone 42-33 in the final. Reaching the final itself was a tremendous achievement as the previous four finals had all been contested by two French sides. They then became the first team to win the tournament twice; defeating Montferrand 27-26 in the final of the renamed Parker Pen Challenge Cup on 22nd May 2004. The clubs instinct for the expansive game of rugby doubtless accounts for its liking of the seven-a-side version of the sport. In the premier tournament (Middlesex Sevens) no other club has won on more than 13 occasions. This includes four wins in a row between 1926 and 1929 and setting a unique record of five consecutive victories from 1986 to 1990.
