Toulouse. The TOEC-TOAC-FCT wants to validate its good start
Even if the defeat at Valence-d’Agen and the overall content of the meetings leave something to be desired, the Toulouse club have successfully left. The idea is to confirm with the reception of Marmande, who closes this second block.
Losing a point in Valence-d’Agen or elsewhere leaves some regrets. Especially since the scenario gave a start to the match in favor of the Valencian Future, and several attempts against the poles, unfortunately failed for the Toec-Toac-FCT. “This match is in line with our two previous matches at Mazamet and against Nîmes, assures the three-quarter coach Sylvain Gomez.

The manager continues: “Rugby is getting harder and harder and harder and more physical. We haven’t been able to field our real team since the start of the season. We give young people a chance, that’s good, but you have to incorporate them when Everything works well.”
Closer to the field, Sylvain Gomez continues the reasoning: “In the construction of our game, the offensive animation, the problem at the hinge forces us to deal with new players or hopes. And we notice a lack of binder between the fronts and the three-quarters. ” An aspect to be corrected as soon as possible when it comes time to receive Marmande, who has obtained 14 points over the last three games …
