La Rochelle came second after beating Toulon

La Rochelle takes history. Like a Dolphin at the Toulouse Stadium, the European champions will go to Ernst Wallon next weekend thanks to the clear and improved success on Sunday against Toulon at the end of Day 7 of the Top 14, Ronan O’Jara. The goalkeepers got their hands on the ball but proved to be very clumsy and then undisciplined. Seven minutes later, they gave former teammate Ihiya West the opportunity to open the scoring. But the New Zealand striker, who has not scored a single point since arriving in Toulon, missed the goal by passing the ball to the left of the poles. The opening match finally came at the quarter-hour mark for La Rochelle. While Matthew Bastarod made a mistake on the ground after taking the ball off the goalkeeper, Jules Favre did not miss the opportunity fifteen meters from the poles. Everything could have changed for the Maritimes soon after, when Pierre Borgaret received a yellow card. The prostitute collapsed a ball that bore Toulon that seemed to have gone to the test. If the disciplinary sanction remained, the sanction was overturned after a foul by Jeremy Senzel, allowing La Rochelle to relieve the pressure. Despite everything more voluntary, Rocilla had to settle for a Jules Favre penalty half an hour into the match, after a new foul on Toulon, to move the scoreboard.

Seuteni released Marcel-Deflandre

But Marcel-Deflander fans were able to rejoice five minutes into the first half, when Ulubanu Siutni scored the first attempt at the meeting. The position replaced at the opening was able to reclaim a foot match for himself, before Aymeric Locke flattened. However, Toloni did not say his last word. Before returning to the locker room, and managing to pry himself off a carried ball, Mathieu Basstareaud played with the Charente defense to flatten the first attempt of the RCT with all his might. But, in the corner, Ihiya West missed again… Toulon was no longer able to score a single point in this confrontation. Back on the field, it didn’t take long to see La Rochelle make his mark on this meeting a little more. Eight minutes into the second half, after Gregory Aldert’s call, the Maritime hit a carry-on that Pierre Bourget went on to finish victorious. In that same action, which very clearly came along with the hit in an effort to stop him infrequently, Charles Olivon was wrong and logically received a yellow card. The number exceeded ten minutes, which pushed the Rady Club a bit. In fact, when the seats opened, five minutes was enough for Rochelle to cash in on one more play.

The reward at the end of the suspense

After an acceleration from Ulupano Seuteni, Teddy Thomas came in to support the right rhythm and grabbed the ball. Taking advantage of a space in the Toulon defense, the former Racing 92 player showed his quick pace to flatten his second attempt of the season. While Toulonnais put all their strength into battle in hopes of getting the best offensive bonus point, Rochelais struggled to find the offensive bonus suspension bug. The end of the match that Charles Olivon had to see from the sidelines, making way for Cornel du Pres after injury 12 minutes after the siren. In the final minutes, Varroa was about to close the gap, but the inaccurate transmission of the ball dampened their momentum. It was finally in the last action that La Rochelle achieved a five-point win. After a touch near five meters found by Bryce Doolin, the touch allowed the creation of a portable ball. Quentin Lespiaucq was able to follow Will Skelton’s penetration, and after serving after contact, the prostitute was able to score his first attempt with his new colours. Thanks to this clear win (32-5), La Rochelle was the only runner-up for Toulouse when Toulon, who returned to defeat after two consecutive wins, slipped to fifth.
