Initially largely dominant without being too effective before falling into control, the residents of Toulouse gave themselves a scare at Racing 92, this Saturday, November 30 as part of the eleventh day of the French Championship , before they sealed the success (21 -17). This is taken before the start of the Champions Cup!
What a weird game. The stadium should have been won much earlier, he almost lost and still managed to grab it with fingers, with spells, in a special form of logic because Racing has been arrested a is sinking into crisis despite a healthy response, thanks to his bench, in the second half. A strange game on a high and high pitch that seemed to greatly hinder the actors in setting the rhythm; a game where the residents of Ile-de-France conceded as many points as penalties in the first period (11) before indiscipline and doubts changed sides. Since there are limits to everything, we will not go so far as to talk about reaching the 7th heaven for Ugo Mola’s men with this 7th success in a series against Racing 92, especially at the this stage of the season.

However, the “red and black” took four precious points, in a difficult match, stuck between the autumn tests and the Champions Cup, leaving many executives to rest (Dupont, Meafou, Flament, Mauvaka, Roumat , Mallia, Saito) and without losing too many feathers, the injury on Cross’s shoulder (exit in the 36th) does not seem too serious. So a very positive balance when evaluating this trip to Créteil, in a stadium that was previously home to local footballers in Ligue 2 and has only rugby on the posts in recently.
The fanfare to join this environmental circus
To tell the truth, the Racingmen did not contribute to giving him a fifteenth label in the first period. First pass from Lancaster blocked, first pass from Le Garrec forward, first ruck and first scrum allowed, first pass from Le Garrec also blocked, a ‘ first touch without direct, it is an understatement to say that the inhabitants of Ile-de-France started in the cry at as a result of their problem meter at zero with the context pressure. The fanfare would be better with this environmental circus.
Full of possession and role, clearly better in scrum, much cleaner simply without being extremely sharp and sharp, the inhabitants of Toulouse did not do much with this mastery immediately, mainly because of three balls that escaped in the 22 meters front and distance did not. always increased in transmission between three quarters. After two penalties from Ramos and a save from Lebel on Habosi (28), during the only electronic strike of Racing 92, the residents of Ile-de-France were however punished for their indiscipline (8 fouls in 30 minutes). Yellow card for Dayimani, try after Willis: 11-0 for the Stade at rest, a really cheap payment.
A complete change of scenery when they resume. Six fouls in 15 minutes for Toulouse, yellow from Chocobares (53), two promises in effect from Tarrit (46) and Joseph (54), tonic entries, a goal from Le Garrec and 17-0 for the “ciel et white” . All to do again. A penalty taken by Merkler (72) and the accuracy of Ramos under pressure, while Lancaster took a fatal yellow (75), allowed the Stadium to avoid a big disappointment with the first impressions.
A little to eat and drink. But with the schedule, there is not much time to be choosy.
