LONDON (Reuters) - Ben Te’o has agreed a short-term deal with Toulon following his omission from England’s Rugby World Cup squad, the French Top 14 club said on Wednesday.

England coach Eddie Jones left the centre out of his 31-man squad last week, and Te'o will now be unavailable for selection as an injury replacement because the Rugby Football Union does not consider foreign-based players.
