At the break, the two teams were separated by only one point (13-12) but Toulon continued to choose the offensive and, well served by Jérémy Sinzelle, Fainga’anuku broke through to the heart of the Scottish defense (44th) for his double. His try was followed by that of Brian Alainu’uese (50th) to offer Toulon a comfortable margin (27-15). But it was quickly filled by the Warriors after a long sequence of “pick and go” concluded by the powerful second line Alujare Oguntibeju (55th, 27-22). The Var success was not a given, as proof of the fourth Scottish try (Johnny Matthews, 80th) planted in numerical superiority (yellow card against Marius Domon, 77th, for antiplay). The fact remains that the Toulonnais occupied first place in their group this Sunday evening, just ahead of Glasgow, who delivered a quality performance.
