Matthieu Jalibert in teacher
XXl performance from the Bordeaux opener. From the 2nd minute of play, Matthieu Jalibert is at the helm and serves the TGV Louis Bielle-Biarrey perfectly to take the lead from Chaban Delmas. Ten minutes later, he performed a classic 50/22 to reverse the current situation of the RCT. He was once again decisive on Depoortere’s try before punctuating his match with a solo try to offer the offensive bonus point to his team which stole 3rd place in the Top 14 in Toulon (46-7).

Louis Bielle-Biarrey at the top
The UBB serial scorer has struck again. From the start, Louis Bielle-Biarrey’s counters panicked. After a run on his left side, the French international allowed his team to take the lead by signing his 8th try of the season in the Top 14. An achievement which allows him to become the co-top scorer in the championship alongside Matthis Lebel (Stade Toulousain) and Jiuta Wainiqolo (LOU).
The defense of the UBB
Six tries scored by the UBB, but above all an iron defense. Put in difficulty by the RCT after returning from the locker room, the Girondins held on in front of their line against Toulonnais who were certainly too clumsy. A desire symbolized by the rescue of Romain Buros who flew to prevent the Varois from obtaining a dangerous touch at the end of the match.
FLOPS
The RCT still flows outside Mayol
Pierre Mignoni’s men once again leave with a heavy defeat in a match away from home. For the third time in a row, the RCT conceded more than 45 points away from home (51 taken at Stade Français and 59 in Toulouse). Since the start of the season, Toulon has only won against Montpellier on the road on the first day of the Top 14… It was September 6.
The Toulon infirmary is expanding
Before the meeting, the RCT was already deprived of numerous players: Melvyn Jaminet, David Ribbans, Gabin Villière, Patrick Tuifua, Jean-Baptiste Gros… More than 10 absent. If Gabin Villière is very close to a return, Var second row Swan Rebbadj is out with an injury. The French international fears having become the crusader. A new blow for Toulon.
