The Pillar Ellis Gillam registered his first realization in the blue jersey and reinforced a little more, the capital his training (28-6). At the height of Toulouse domination, Corey Aston softened the severity of the display table (28-12). A straw fire since the Reuben Rennie center has planted a sixth comer (34-12), synonymous with a fourth victory and a place in the top trio of the ranking. And for Professor Sylvain Houles, the copy rendered deserves the mention well. “There is victory and the way. We are therefore very satisfied with the behavior of the players who perfectly respected the game plan. Throughout the game, the boys were able to solve the problems that she posed at us. During the week before the match, the group’s involvement was perfect. When the seriousness is in training, he must affect the match. »»
