New Toulon recruit Ben Barba will not be playing at the Brisbane Tens, with the Australian Rugby Union flagging a move to block him from a late call‑up.
Barba has reportedly signed with the French glamour club on a three‑year, $2.5 million deal but had not joined them when they announced their squad for the Brisbane Tens which takes place at Suncorp Stadium next weekend.
Barba was suspended indefinitely by the NRL in November after testing positive for cocaine.
