Toulouse took full advantage of the dual red and black colors against Toulon (21-10) on Sunday night at the Ernest Wallon stadium, closing the 9th day of the Top 14 to get out of the red zone and avoid moping longer.
We do not expect it. But now, Toulouse, so fragile in this season despite its success at home last week against the French stage (22-10), has indeed defeated former leader Toulon (21-10) on Sunday evening Stade Ernest Wallon, at the last match of the ninth day of the Top 14.
The emphasis on the “good”, so the club top-Garonne, rebel, instead mastered his case against the Var yet not come in the pink city for fun with the return of the Four Nations Bakkies Botha, Juan Martin Fernandez Lobbe and Bryan Habana, but also the debut in the Top 14 Leigh Halfpenny. The team coached by Guy Noves, suspended this weekend, was deprived of many injured players, so what?
In a one-sided first period, Stade Toulousain, full of initiative and effective enough , dominated by conquest too undisciplined opponent training. Gaël Fickou recovered a candle Luke McAlister and plunged into the end zone (6, 5-0), then the same McAlister has aggravated the score at the bottom (7th, 11th, 25th, 27th). Halftime: 16-0, the double European champion and title holder is punished and especially fanny
From the outset in the second half, Yoann Huget brand strength!. This time, the RCT is standing KO … Toulouse then drop rate, but Toulon, too rough, does not benefit as against a 90 meter Habana signed and quickly converted by Halfpenny (21-7, 54). On a penalty, James O’Connor will reduce the gap (21-10, 68th). This may not, however, prevent the Red and Black to rebound from thirteenth to eighth in the standings with 18 points, but still six lengths of the first play-off Grenoble. The Toulon, them give up their pole position in Clermont.
