The RCT achieved its objective by winning in Mayol in front of the promoted Vannetais, what’s more with the offensive bonus point.
A performance that can be described as logical when we know the diametrically opposed objectives of the two clubs, especially since the Bretons had chosen to leave many of their starters to rest.
Except that we had to be patient to see Toulon gain the upper hand over this valiant promotion who competed for almost an hour, even allowing themselves the luxury of leading 19 to 14 until the 54th minute of play. .
The moment when the coaching carried out by Pierre Mignoni proved effective, notably the return of Baptise Serin who restored order to the Var game, while scoring his team’s fourth try after a nice “one-two” with its captain Charles Ollivon.
This try marks the end of the Vannes hopes which will take the tide in the last quarter of an hour, despite Jean-Baptiste Gros receiving a red card with a quarter of an hour to go.
Fainga’anuku, Tuicuvu and Priso complete the Var success, which therefore carries out an excellent accounting operation. But there is no doubt that the Toulon staff have a lot to say about the content in order to raise the level of play during the next trip to Clermont.
