The tour de force achieved by Toulon in Perpignan (13-22), this Saturday evening, was made possible in particular by the convincing performances of third row Charles Ollivon and left pillar Dany Priso. On the Catalan side, So'otala Fa'aso'o and Tom Ecochard did not have the usual impact.
Charles Ollivon : 7.5/10
Aligned in 8 for the third time this season with the RCT, the great Charles was decisive. We saw him conquering with the ball in hand, regularly winning his impacts, dominating in the air, with stolen balls crucial to the Catalan alignment, and combative in defense, a sector where he was found wanting on only one occasion. The international confirms its current good form with a new quality performance.
Dany Priso: 7.5/10
This Saturday, Dany Priso did everything and did almost everything well. The left pillar was the author of Toulon's only try of the game on a decisive charge. For the rest, in addition to being disciplined and uncompromising in the scrum, he was one of the most active forwards with ball in hand and he finished with more than ten tackles in less than an hour of play. Great work.
Direct Connection : 3,5/10
The Auckland native symbolizes the lack of reference points and a certain inability to break away from Toulon's influence, particularly in conquest and in the obscure tasks of the ground game. Aligned in the second row, the former Brive player never imposed his physical status or his density. Not the only one to have erred in the approximation, its too random impact could not reverse a scenario well put together by the Varois well prepared for the circumstance.
Tom Écochard: 4/10
He was very isolated in this meeting. Not necessarily helped by his third line for camp outings, overused in the kicking game to relieve Gabin Kretchmann logically and well identified by the visitors, the conductor struggled in the general distribution. Like the Usap, in the tough when the game demanded reactivity, and on which Tom Écochard lacked his usual imprint to lead his troops to success and create a revolt that will never come.
