53′ And what had to happen happened, Marius Domon, perfectly served by Sinzelle, offers himself a shot from the top to hook Acebès who came back in disaster, and score his third try…
52 ‘ The Varois are already back in the blood and gold camp, and are dangerous, on the outskirts of the promised land …
51 ‘ Maul perfectly countered by the Roussillonnais, who can give themselves some air! Phew!
50′ The blood and gold fall back into their ways, and it is Halanukonuka who is penalized this time… 5m hit.
49′ Meanwhile, Halanukonuka replaces Joly, Montgaillard replaces Tadjer, and Posolo Tuilagi comes in instead of Fa’asalele.
The son of the illustrious Grégory is obliged to give up his place.
49′ Dubois is blocked by Nayacalevu, and commits a knock-on… the game is stopped while Le Corvec is on the ground.
48 Paillaugue tries to occupy the opposing camp at the foot, but takes out the leather on the Catalan 40m. New interesting ball to play!

41′ And already perhaps a try from Dréan for the RCT, after a breakthrough from Le Corvec… but the young winger seems to have made a forward on the line, video!
Tristan Tedder kicks off this second half!
The 30 protagonists return to the meadow, and the kick-off of the second act is imminent!
40 + 2 Penalty played quickly by Rodor, who sends Dubois launched into the 22m… but who misses his pass for Acebès. Too bad, the blood and gold end on this action a first act yet perfectly started, but ends in the worst way. To see if the Roussillonnais will be able to recover their health in the second act!
40+1′ Penalty for blood and gold! And David Marty to harangue his troops to play in the opposing camp!
40 Dréan fortunately commits a forward, and the Catalans will have the introduction in melee, probably the last of this first act.
39′ Ball snatched by Joaqin Oviedo, and Rodor to clear, without finding the key however!
And the Toulonnais to go into touch, now confident …
And the penalty falls like a cleaver: Fa’asalele leaves his teammates at 14 for a whole half. The gesture, if there is probably nothing malicious about it, is dangerous and uncontrolled…
The referee stops time, as Fa’asalele is guilty of a shoulder charge to Rabut’s head. It doesn’t smell very good…
38′ Arm broken in the scrum, and we play quickly with Paillaugue!
37′ The blood and gold stumble on an airtight defense of the Toulonnais, and finally lose the ball on their 40m, after a messed up pass for Joly…

32 this same Dubois who finds a superb touch on the five meters Toulon, pressure on the RCT!
31′ Dubois slaloms in the defense, stopped by “Basta” at the entrance of the 22m! We don’t close the game!
30 on the dismissal, Paillaugue clears without finding the key, and the Catalans choose to play! Oviedo, found on the wing, enters the opposing 40m!
After a tumble from Parisse, Domont ejects the ball at high speed on his hooker, who overtakes everyone and dives like a three-quarter to collapse in the promised land. Biggar continues his faultless, and Toulon passes in front, 13-7.
28′ Tolofua concluded in a winger position…

17′ Rodor tries to make himself beautiful, and advances 15m! Behind, Laborde taps to follow, and forces his opposite to concede a touch 5m from his line!!!
16 ‘ On the dismissal, the Toulonnais decide to play by hand … but Dréan commits a forward on the center line. Good balloon to exploit for the USAP!
15 the Welsh opener does not miss, and gives his own to four units, 3-7.
14′ USAP defends the iron but is penalized on the maul… Biggar will take the points, 22m in front of the bars.
13′ Drink break for the 30 players, while the Perpignanais had managed to emerge quietly, on their 22m!

11 ‘ On the dismissal, the big USAP temporize, and form small piles to stay within 22m. Rodor then serves Tedder, who finds a superb touch on his 45m!
Acebès, who replaced Rodor behind the scrum, quickly squirted the swell on Dubois, who mobilized two defenders before serving his Fijian center, who acrobatically planted the leather on the line on the sidelines! The conversion is perfect for Tedder, and USAP leads 7-0!!
SAWAILAUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUU FOR THE FIRST TRY!!!!!!

3 ‘Against the wind, the blood and gold fullback finds a small touch 30m from his line…
2 ‘ The Toulonnais send the game, and try to advance upwind with the big ones. Biggar climbs a candle, which does not surprise Dubois, author of an acrobatic mark!
1 ‘From the outset, Rodor finds a superb touch on his 40m!
Let’s go here at Stade Mayol, visca USAP!!
And we will immediately note the return to the Catalan starting XV of a certain Mathieu Acebès! Indeed, the captain has finally finished bleeding his suspension, and takes place on the left wing, accompanied by Dubois and Forner in the rear trident. In the center of the attack, an unprecedented and bodybuilt pair Laborde – Sawailau will try to wreak havoc in the Var defense, while Tedder and Rodor will be in charge of the game. In front, it’s tough, with Oviedo well wedged in the ass of the pack, supported on the wings of the third line by Bachelier and Galletier. In the cage, Piula Fa’asalele and Victor Moreaux will be associated to push hard behind Lotrian, Tadjer and Joly!
On the bench, it’s a clever mix of youth and experience, with Montgaillard, Fakatika, Tuilagi, Velarte, Labouteley and Halanukonuka in the big leagues, while Ecochard and Goutard will replace in the 3/4!
Hello everyone, and welcome to this live match of the 22nd day of Top 14 which will pit USAP against a direct competitor in the Top 6, the RCT! Here without further delay the compositions of the two formations!
