Rugby Purists, you’re going to love this.

In one of the best test matches of the last year, New Zealand and South Africa went hammer and thongs at one another yesterday in a game packed with intensity and skill.

If there was one moment that captured the essence of the game, it was Richie McCaw’s try.

With an advantage, Aaron Cruden went cross field with a booming kick, which was fielded by Kieran Read.

The number eight powerfully rose and fielded the ball before sumptuously offloading for the onrushing Richie McCaw to score.

Epic.

Fresh off the back of their consecutive Heineken Cup success, Toulon owner Mourad Boudjellal looks to strengthen even more.

Much has been said about Toulon & other french teams in their signing of international superstars in the past few seasons. It has led to the creation of power houses in the European game but not every rugby fan agrees with these policies.

Boudjellal has said he wants to sign the 4 best players in the world when he was interviewed by Eurosport at the weeekend.

In a year, I will try to do the biggest thing I’ve ever done [in the transfer market]. I have an idea in my head, a crazy idea; I will try to make it happen. There are Quatre Fantastiques in the rugby world, I truly want to do that Grand Slam.”

With Toulon already confirming the signings of stars such a Leigh Halfpenny & James O’Connor to name a few, one wonders do Toulon really need more international stars?

He refused to confirm which players he has on his wish-list, but Toulon will be ready to pounce for the usual transfer frenzy after a Rugby World Cup in 2015. Here we take a look at some of the rumoured targets that could be part of the ‘Fantastic Four’.

So here’s our question to you, who would your fantastic four be if you were in Boudjellal’s shoes?
