The RCT narrowly won against Stade Toulousain, 20 to 19, Saturday evening at the Vélodrome stadium in Marseille. The Var can thank the New Zealander Leicester Fainga’anuku, author of a double full of power and speed.
On the Toulouse side, winger Lucas Tauzin acted first. A strong try from prop Merkler in the 74th minute could have given the visitors victory, but Thomas Ramos missed the conversion.
