TOP 14 Day 12
Between the confident Toulone people, who had enjoyed back-to-back successes (five wins in a row at the start of the match), the section knew they would face one of the fittest teams in the Championship.
Rouge et Noir quickly set the pace for the game, taking a 10-0 lead after Le Corvec’s try for the ball fell into a ruck 40 meters out from the opposition. Lucchesi rescued himself from a carried ball and scored in turn (17-3 in the 18th minute). Pau’s response was initiated by Thibault Daubagna, who quickly played a penalty kick within 22 meters of RCT and attempted a try (24′ 17-10). Gaël Dréan scored Toulon’s third try and allowed his side to lead 24-13 at the break.
The section achieved a remarkable performance directly with Aymeric Luc in the conclusion (52 minutes 24-20). That brings us back to Green and White, 4 points behind RCT! Serin’s penalty made the score 27-10 (57′). Unfortunately, the last 20 minutes would be fatal for Palois, who received two yellow cards (59′ Gailleton, 74′ Kpoku) and, above all, conceded four attempts. Toulonnais dominated Béarnais, who scored big on their final trip of 2024, despite a try from Jack Maddocks. They lost 56-25 at Mayol.
The section’s next deadline is: Saturday 28 December 2pm Boxing Day opens with a reception by RC Vannes at Le Hameau.
