MERCURIAL Brumbies and Wallabies playmaker Matt Giteau is poised within days to sign with a French club although he will not make the move until after the World Cup in October.
It is understood the race for Giteau's signature has come down to Toulon and Bayonne although French powerhouse Toulouse has the resources to come in over the top at the last moment.
Although he is only 28, Giteau is entering his 10th season of international rugby and with 91 Tests to his credit, is Australia's most-capped current back and the sixth-most experienced Wallaby in history.
