Paia'aua and Frisch forfeit: Toulon will have to compose… – Quinze Ovalie

The Rugby Club Toulonnais must deal with a series of bad news before the resumption of Top 14 this weekend. According to information reported by Blog RCTthe injuries of Duncan Don't et Antoine Frisch are added to an already problematic list of unavailability for the Var club.

Paia'aua, a new relapse

After a rib injury, Duncan Don't had to finally return to the field this Saturday against Bayonne. But fate decided otherwise: the three-quarter center injured his thigh during training on Thursday.

Pierre Mignoni, the RCT coach, confirmed his withdrawal at a press conference, also mentioning other notable absences such as Swan Rebbadj, Corentin Mézou et Selassie Tolofua. This news raises questions about the physical reliability of Paia'aua, often unavailable since his arrival in Toulon.

Frisch, a compromised hope

Replacing Paia'aua, the French international Antoine Frisch was to take over. But he too is uncertain.

Returning from the French team with a thigh hematoma, Frisch was unable to train on Thursday. According to the latest information, his participation against Bayonne seems very compromised, further complicating the staff's plans.

An attack to recompose

Faced with these absences, Toulon will have to show imagination. The pair of centers should consist of Matthieu Smaïli et Jeremy Sinzellea default choice that illustrates the current limitations of the squad. If Sinzelle is renowned for its versatility, this solution remains far from expectations for a team aiming for the top of the table.

These packages are added to a series of injuries which raise questions about the physical management of players at the RCT. With executives regularly absent and a bench limited to certain positions, Toulon will have to find solutions quickly to remain competitive.
