In this meeting which had started badly for the Varois, Baptiste Serin showed a great leadership while Esteban Abadie was shown the extent of his talent. On the Rochelais side, Hastoy's great match was not enough.
Tops
What a match in the third Var line! Esteban Abadie has shown an absolutely impressive activity – he carried out twelve races in the meeting. First, at the very beginning of the match, it is he who escapes, well served on the wing and who falls five meters from the line. In the second half, he also went to his essay in the 47th minute. The best championship bastor made a very high level match and was all the good Var shots.
Toulon is unbeaten in Mayol this season! The Var people won in an intense fight against a young Rochelaise team. The RCT maintains its third place and is closer to the Toulouse stadium and the UBB in the standings.

The melee half was everywhere in this meeting and showed a great leadership when Toulon fogled. On the accounting side, it is he who, by playing quickly as he likes it, will mark the first Var test which revived the RCT then led 17-0. He scored eighteen points, including 100 % at the foot. In energy debauchery, he does not leave his share to the dog either. Like the 25th minute where he makes a big pressing everywhere. He still did a class action in the 54th minute to feast on his audience, with a small side and shaving with finesse, which will not succeed for lack of sliding.
-Antoine Hastoy made a very good match on Mayol's lawn. It's simple, on each of his balloons, the old Palois managed to make differences. On the first test of the game, the opener was decisive by serving Bosmorin before going out in touch. A few minutes later, he intercepted a pass of Priso and played perfectly with a game at the foot in a perfect timing for Leyds. He was the author of a superb intervals in the defense to relaunch the ball (28e) and did very well under pressure (37e). At the time of play, he made a huge “50-22”. Faced with poles, it is to be credited with a good 6 out of 7.
Flops
The Rochelais winger was more used to showing his advantage since the start of the season, this was not the case this Sunday evening. Little inspired, he did not do wonders in hand unlike his teammates among three-quarters, despite a good charge on Sinzelle (26e). He roughly spoiled a huge test of testing by not giving the ball and favoring the personal initiative (34e). On this same action, he launched the ball without a master's degree and made his team lose possession. On the Dréan test, its climb in the tip was missed and allowed Abadie to unravel the defense.
- Gianmarco Lucchesi: 4/10
The hooker was not clean in several of his throws, which cost a Toulon who managed to take the field in the first half. He is not the only at fault we mean but it has not been precise enough. In the game, he did not highly highlight particularly. The touch which is usually an essential weapon of this RCT was not tonight. He was also sanctioned with a penalty.
