The Rugby Club Toulonnais lost this Sunday in Mayol against Union Bordeaux-Bègles (32-37), at the end of the 14th day of the Top 14. The Bordelais had launched their match perfectly with a try scored by Tambwe from the 29th second of the match. Garcia, very good on his feet this Sunday evening, had converted this try, but the Toulonnais reacted quickly to regain the advantage in the 27th minute with a try from the former All Black Fainga’anuku, a few minutes after a first from Gigashvili .
The Girondins did not give up and made the difference at the end of the match by also scoring four tries, the last thanks to an excellent recovery from all over the field, concluded by Nicolas Depoortère (77th), called up to the France team. The visitors resisted well at the end of the match by repelling the last Toulon offensive.
After its success at Stade Rochelais, the RCT (5th) fell back into its mistakes and conceded its first defeat of the season at home. UBB, beaten by Stade Français Paris on the last day, signs the first victory in its history in Toulon and climbs to 3rd place.
