Would the RCT be like the Titanic., launched at full steam on the iceberg of relegation to Pro D2? Saturday, in Mayol, the Varois, good last before the match, however beat the leader Bordeaux-Bègles to the snatch (21-18). The victory should have brought them a breath of fresh air before embarking on a triptych against other hungry misclassified: Perpignan (12th), Brive (11th) then Biarritz (14th). On the pitch, Toulon plays better. But off the field, the announcement of the departure of key players has rekindled the flames of anger among supporters. In the locker room of Mayol, the Toulonnais were celebrating their joy when Eben Etzebeth announced to them that he would return to South Africa in June, two years before the end of his contract He had just made his return after eight months of unavailability (selection, then concussion). His personal agenda bumped into the turmoil of the RCT institution. The supporters tweeted their dismay loudly: how can their club let their world champion go?
