Beaten at the last second against Racing (30-28), while a great victory loomed for them, the Espoirs du Castres Olympique were keen to use the reception of Toulon to evacuate the frustration born of this defeat. It is done thanks to a serious match against a catchy opponent. By scoring five tries without conceding any, the men of Cédric Jalabert, David Aliès and Rodrigo Capo-Ortega even added the way to the results and thus offered themselves a precious five-point victory which consolidates them in the square of the head of the pool 1. An enhanced success which concludes a second quality block. The young Olympians now have two weeks to prepare for a perilous trip to Narbonne.
