Clermont comes out at the last minute against Toulon

Amid the hand faults, Léon Darricarrère came close to trying a home run (8th) and if Benjamin Urdapilleta quickly responded to Baptiste Serin’s opening score (15th), it was the RCT, less undisciplined, who opened up a first small gap (3-9, 28th). By relying on the length of the game at the foot of Serin or Garbisi, a more patient possession than anything else, the Varois reproduced what had worked in Paris two weeks ago, already in the rain (10-14 victory at Jean- Bouin). This slow rhythm, from touch to scrum and scrum to penalty to scrum, continued until the end of the first period, reached with a score of 9-12 for Toulon and a yellow card on each side, for the pillars Setiano and Akhaladze.
