In Mayol, Lewis Ludlam was imperial while on the other side, Nolann Le Garrec allowed his team to stay afloat for a long time. On the other hand, the young hooker Robin Couly made too many mistakes…
The tops
- Setariki Tuicuvu: 8.5/10
Established in the absence of Villière, who was preserved for this part, theThe Fijian showed, once again, that he was much more than a second knife. On his wing, he made all these balls flourish. Receiving a pass at the foot of Serin, he finished the shot in a corner, before returning to this same part of the field just before the end of the last quarter of an hour. This time he used his malice and his eye. Blocked in the maul, Henry Arundell left part of the turf. It took him badly. With 4 crossings, it was a nightmare for the Racing 92 defense.
In front of the press, in the middle of the week, the Englishman said that he was learning to become “patient” since his arrival in Toulon. The ex-Saints captain plays less, notably because he is not JIFF. For his return to the third line, the English international had an impressive kill (13/13 in the tackle), 45 meters gained with the ball in hand. He also scored his first try with his new colorswell served by Sinckler. In this sector of the game, the choices will become difficult for Pierre Mignoni.
Saturday afternoon, Nolann Le Garrec kept the Racingmen, although dominated, in the match for a long time. Author of a counter try in the first period and another, on interception, in the second act, the golden boy of Morbihan was a class above.
The flops
Entering the first period in place of Janick Tarrit, seriously injured in the ankle, the former Clermont player did not have an unforgettable match at the Mayol stadium. Author of a missed tackle on Leicester Fainga'anuku on Toulon's second try, Robin Couly generally seemed to lack power in the duels and was clumsy in his throws into touch on Saturday afternoon.
If his last outing against Lou (22-22) had been more than encouraging, his performance against the Toulonnais sent observers back to depths of perplexity. Not really serene under high balls, shy and more in attack, the future Bath winger did not really score any points on Saturday afternoon.
