Gaël Dréan Combative

Cruel fate for the Toulon winger. First Savior with a 36th minute test, which offered a little air to his team after a complicated first half, he scored his third trial in three games there. But later, at the duel with Tiberghien, the best Toulon marker falls badly. Evacuated on a stretcher, he offers a penalty test to his team. Toulon manages to pick up the scoring in the last minutes. That won’t be enough.

Baptist Decisive Serin

In the 57th minute, when Baptiste Serin and Ma’a Nonu make their entry, the Toulonnais are exceeded, without inspiration. The French international will then change the face of his team. With his energy, he breathes new momentum. From the 58th, he transformed a penalty, then five minutes later, he offered a test. Passed through a mouse hole, he completely deceived the Bayonnaise defense and revived the RCT.

Flops

Toulon’s first half

If Toulon loses this match, it is largely because of its first half. Baptiste Serin’s teammates have completely missed it. No sequence built, too much waste, and a multitude of missed tackles. Fortunately, Gaël Dréan briefly offered a little air with his test. Varois can feed big regrets on this first act.
