Niniashvili man of the match, the Lyon defense almost impermeable, Toulouse too long asleep… Find the Tops and Flops of the victory of LOU against Stade Toulousain (24-17).
TOPS
Omnipresent Niniashvili
The Georgian nugget has shown that she can do everything. The recital of the Lyon back begins with the test which allows his people to take the lead. Couilloud reverses the game by shifting for his rear which pierces the Toulouse defense to score! The young player turns into a decisive passer for the second try signed Dumortier. On top of all that, the Georgian scratched countless balls. A reference match for him.
The big Lyon defense
If LOU won this evening, it was largely thanks to their defense. On several occasions, the Lyon defense was irreproachable.
FLOPS
A Toulouse awakening too late
The Rouge et Noir played the beginning of the match and the end of the match, the rest of the time, it was the LOU who dominated the debates. Indeed, the Haut-Garonnais scored the first try of the meeting thanks to Ntamack but also the last. Unfortunately, the test at the end of the meeting of Placines was much too late.
A very timid first half
If the second period was marked by many tries, many physical duels sometimes borderline, the first was weak in intensity. Indeed, only one try and only two penalties took place. Whether Toulouse or Lyonnais, the first half was not up to par. Fortunately, the second delighted rugby fans.
