The third row wasted no time during Stade Toulousain's victory against Toulon (57-5). Coming into play in the 49th minute, Anthony Jelonch scored two tries (52nd, 60th). He tells.
Anthony, do you remember having already scored a double at Stade Toulousain?
(He thinks) So, at Stade Toulousain I think I scored one during my first year. It's sure that it's not frequent but I'm happy to have put this double.

It’s a perfect evening for you in every way…
Yes it's true but in the first half they countered us well defensively. We come out at 15-5, we have a lot of waste. Secondly we manage to get our hands on the ball, gain our contacts offensively and defensively and that allows us to win the match quite easily.

You are joining the XV of France this week, do you have the feeling of duty accomplished?
Yes for sure. Especially since when we come to the Stadium, it’s always special. We had the heart to play a big match, the stadium was full, there were a lot of family and a lot of young people, there was a lot of atmosphere and tonight I think we made everyone proud. It also allows us to take five points to regain the lead in the championship. We also wanted to have a big match, not just the internationals. The whole group. And it's certain that we internationals are happy to have played, to have won and we will now see who will be released next week to play against Bayonne.

How do you feel about leaving with the Blues and potentially being able to return to your club during the week?
We understand it well. For my part, I don't know if I'm going to come back down or not. But we know that a few will come back. Next week there is a big match in Bayonne and last year we lost there so we will be keen to have a big match before the holidays.

Does your double mark your return in great form?
Yes. I cut twice because of two big injuries, it was quite complicated. But little by little I feel better and better, whether in training or on the pitch (in matches). I need to get back to my automatisms but I feel like it's coming back little by little so it bodes well for the future.
