Zapping World Fifteen Shield of Brenno, XV of the Rose, World Cup 2023…
Fallout of the Italians of Zebre last week (21-24), Rugby Club Toulonnais was looking for a second consecutive success this Saturday in Mayol against the English of Bath. A search that ideally will begin with three goals scored during the first act by Jiuta Wainiqolo (14′), Maëlan Rabut (23′) and Bruce Devaux (37′).
And the start of the second half will only confirm Toulon’s dominance. After a fine offensive, the Rossoneri are just a few meters away from the Bath goal area. The ball was then cleared on the outside and after a chistera from Sergio Parisse and a superb jump pass from Dan Biggar it ended up in the hands of Gervais Cordin. In power, the former Grenoble player registers the bonus test for the RCT. 29 to 0.
Also sovereign on the pitch, the Toulonnais scored solidly this Saturday. However, the defensive curtain cracks in the 70th minute: after a winning ball, hooker Tom Doughty scores and opens the English counter-attack. The score is therefore 29 to 7 and will not budge. Toulon continues with a second improved success and takes the lead in pool A.
to summarise
Fallout of the Italians of Zebre last week, Rugby Club Toulonnais were looking for a second consecutive success this Saturday in Mayol against the English of Bath. A beautifully completed mission and a final score of 29 to 7.
