Lyonnais and Toulouse shared the points on the Gerland pitch this Sunday evening (17-17). After leading for a long time, Lyon inevitably harbors regrets like Martin Méliande. While Toulouse's Anthony Jelonch is rather satisfied with this score.
The Lyonnais may have regrets after this draw (17-17) against Toulouse. While they were up to 10 points ahead, Karim Ghezal's men were finally caught. If they ended their series of defeats in the Top 14, they are not fully satisfied with this result. “Obviously, I'm a little mixed… I don't really know. I think that tonight we put in what we needed in terms of commitment and solidarity to hope to win. It didn't happen, “We missed a few details… It's frustrating but it's still two points taken so it's okay.” explained Martin Méliande to the Canal + Microphone at the end of the meeting.
But the young opener still wanted to keep some positive things from this draw against the reigning champion. “We will have some positives to take from this match. We knew the team that was coming to challenge us and we more than responded. We don't have the four points but I think we will have a lot of positive things to remember .”

Jelonch satisfied
Opposite, Toulouse almost let this match slip away and the two points obviously taste better. “Frankly, we came to win but this draw satisfies us. In the first half, we made several inaccuracies. We went into their scoring zone several times and didn't get out. We didn't have any success on goal in the first half either. We had a good game in the fight and I'm proud of my teammates. This evening it did not smile on us… We take two points and we will concentrate this week on the reception at the Stade Français.welcomed Anthony Jelonch at the broadcaster's microphone.
The third row then sent a message to these young people who turned the match around by coming off the bench. “The young people, I see them every day in training and they progress week after week with us. They are fantastic! They will fully enter the rotation and play more and more. It's good because it brings emulation and competition”.
