Tension in the clash between Bayonne and Toulouse at the Jean-Dauger stadium, this Sunday, November 3. And referee Kevin Bralley had a job with the first try scored by Cereal Master in a confusing situation, virulent tackles including contact to the head ofAnthony Jelonch on Giovanni Habel-Kueffner. But arbitration has always been justified.

Bayonne scores the first try

The Blue and White opened the scoring in the 14th^e minute in a totally confusing situation. THE best try scorer in the Top 14 flattened the ball well. Before validating, the referee wanted to review the rather confusing situation which preceded. Following a penalty, Bayonne obtained a touch in the Toulouse 22 meters.

After several periods of play, Maxime Machenaud hit a little kick over the top for Yohan Orabé. Pursued by Setareki Bituniyata, the Bayonne full-back tried to send the ball back, which was recovered by Sireli Maqala before going into the in-goal. Considering that there was no forward, the referee awarded the try (7-0).

Yellow card for Anthony Jelonch

In the various very strong tackles between Bayonnais and Toulouse, some were penalized because they were considered too high. Others were not controlled because they were considered in the rule, such as that of Setareki Bituniyata on Xan Mousques. On the other hand, at 31^e minute, it was a contact to the head which was penalized by Kevin Bralley.

Anthony Jelonch was guilty of hitting Giovanni Habel-Kueffner on the lower face with his shoulder. The Toulouse third row received a yellow card. A gesture bordering on a red card but the referee justified his decision: “I perceive contact to the head, it is unfair play and the degree of danger is high. But Bayonne's number eight is falling. It’s a yellow card! »
