Tied on points with their opponent of the day, the Toulonnais are playing big in front of their home crowd, this Sunday (2 p.m.), during the 4th day of the Champions Cup.
On video, Dréan’s crazy race!
It’s the break! (7-6)
Without shining, the RCT went one point ahead at the break, at the end of a very difficult first act.
Essai de Domon! (39e, 7-6)
It’s the right one for the RCT! Sinzelle sends a pass to Domon who overwhelms the Munster defense before diving into the left side goal. Mayol can breathe, Domon transforms his own try.
The RCT supports in scrum (38th)
We returned to an advantage in progress and the Toulonnais chose to push the Irish pack, outnumbered since Beirne’s yellow card. Note the return to the Albornoz lawn.
Try refused to Ribbans! (38th, 0-6)
Hard for the Varois. Ribbans thought he would score the first try of the day but referee Dickson refused him for an illegal action on the ground by the South African.
Yellow card against Beirne! (36th)
The Irish international is guilty of a cynical foul near his line. The RCT decides to play by hand! Pivotal moment of this meeting.
Ferté hit! (34th)
The young French winger is the victim of contact on the shoulder on a short overhead kick. Garbisi finds the touchline five meters from the Irish goal.
Another penalty against Toulon (33rd)
The Var are absent from the debates in this first act and concede a new penalty in the Irish camp, on a scratch from Coombes. Crowley finds a nice touch.
Crowley worsens the score! (31st, 0-6)
The Irish once again bend the closed Toulon scrum. A little off-center on the right, Crowley adjusts his kick and allows Munster to lead by six points.
Penalty for Munster (29th)
What a scratch from Edogbo on Jérémy Sinzelle. Jack Crowley brings the play back to the halfway line.
Penalty for Toulon (28th)
Albornoz suffered a head tackle from O’Donoghue. He came out to perform a concussion protocol, replaced by Garbisi. The RCT is back in the Irish camp.
Toulon is a little better (27th)
The Varois impose a positive sequence and gain ground. Passes after contact multiply, before Munster manages to bury the ball, once again.
In front of Mercer (24th)
The Toulonnais still can’t do it. Ludlam sends a pass into the socks for his compatriot Mercer. within the opposing 22 meters. So many inaccuracies in this first period.
Dréan’s mad return! (22nd)
New inaccuracy on a Toulon game launch. The Munstermen take a long kick to follow which ends in the in-goal. On the run and leaving late, Dréan returns at full speed to save the Var house. Nash was very close to scoring the first try of the day.
Festival of imprecisions (19th)
The Toulonnais are not there at all after twenty minutes of play. David Ribbans is picked up by an aggressive Irish defense and loses another ball.
Crowley opens the scoring! (17th, 0-3)
Albornoz was guilty of a tackle without the ball, near his 22 meters. Facing the poles, Jack Crowley allows Munster to score the first points of the match.
Penalty for Munster (14th)
The Irish make their opponents bend for the first time in a closed scrum. Jean-Baptiste Gros gave in. Jack Crowley brings the play back to the halfway line.
New advance of the RCT (11th)
Another game launch in front of the 22 meters. Brex comes to challenge the defense as the first attacker but drops the ball on the ground. Small start to the match for Mayol.
Big imprecise (8th)
First sequence for Toulonnais in the opposing camp. Ben White dictates the tempo in front of the 22 meters and serves Gros who wants to play after contact for Abadie. The pass is poorly assured and the French third line commits a forward move. There are still adjustments to be made.
Albornoz at the scratch! (6th)
Good defensive sequence from the RCT. On a ruck at the entrance to their 22 meters, the Varois made the effort and recovered a penalty thanks to a nice attitude from the Argentinian international fly-half.
Munster without solutions (5th)
Long sequence for the Irish who find no difference against a well-established Toulon defense. We end up using our feet to return the ball.
Exchange of kicks (3rd)
The two teams are testing each other at the start of the meeting. After several exchanges, the RCT takes the ball into touch over 40 meters.
In front of Mercer (1st)
On a countered kick from Casey, Mercer commits a forward on the fallout. Munster introduction scrum on the 40 meter line.
Here we go!
Kick-off given by Albornoz in favor of Toulon. Good match with us.
Release of the two formations!
Toulonnais and Englishmen enter the pitch at Stade Mayol. Conditions are ideal in the harbor.

The RCT journey
