In an open match but marked by technical inaccuracies, Toulon won at home once morest Stade français with a score of 19-5. The Varois move up to third place in the championship and overtake their opponents of the day.
How long it took to obtain this seventh victory in the Top 14 for Toulon. Dominant and in front throughout the match, the Toulonnais had to wait until the 75th minute to score a try which freed a packed Mayol stadium.
Jaminet in all the good moves
He was expected before the meeting, the number 15 of the RCT, Melvyn Jaminet did not miss his match. We only had to wait four minutes to see the French international score his first points in red and black in the Top 14. The striker was very precise with his feet by scoring four penalties and a conversion. The poles were only missing once during the game. His friend Joris Segond was much less successful with a 0/3 on the foot.
In a match where there was no lack of intensity, the Varois were able to take advantage of Parisian blunders to quickly take the lead. Both teams returned to the locker room with a score of 6-0 in favor of the locals.
A liberating test 5 minutes from time
If the intensity was still very present in this second half, unlike the first 40 minutes, Stade Français finally decided to put some rhythm in this part. The pink soldiers were the most offensive at the start of the second act. An attitude paid off since good work from Romain Briatte and Lester Etien allowed Dakuwaqa to receive the ball on the right side and rush to the goal to score the first try of the match once morest the run of play.
Stung, the locals decided to redouble their efforts and capitalize on the Parisian difficulties. The errors multiplied on the side of the Capital club and despite the try scored, the score was 12 to 5 in favor of Toulon ten minutes from time. The blow fell less than five minutes later for Karim Ghezal and his players. Reduced to 14 following a yellow card, the defense of the pink soldiers cracked once morest the Var power. Fainga’anuku scored his first try in the Toulon jersey and liberated a burning Mayol stadium which had been waiting to roar since the start of the match.
Although it was difficult to achieve, this success allowed Charles Ollivon to have a smile on the Canal + microphone at the end of the meeting:It’s war every weekend. We’re having trouble scoring but it’s important to win once morest a team fighting with us in the standings. We are fighting with them. All in all, we did a great job in front of our audience who responded. We still have work to do because it’s been very complicated but we’ll make do with it.”
This 19-5 victory allows Toulon to finish 2023 in third place and still undefeated at home. For its part, Stade Français fell from the podium and found itself fifth before tomorrow’s match.
