Toulouse. The TOEC-TOAC did not go the distance
We play in the 77th minute, Céret leads the score (20-17). The locals are double outnumbered. On a touch within thirty meters, the visitors submit to the fault and offer a reward to the Catalans. The players decide not to take the points and to go in touch. The hooker’s throw is captured by Lopez, the “blue and white” form a casserole. The whole team comes to push and sends Haimiche behind the line. The stadium rejoices and the Cérétans offer themselves the victory and relaunch for the qualification. However, everything had started badly.
From the first minutes, the locals put their hand on the ball but were unable to trigger. Hacini even rates two penalties. The Toulousains are non-existent in the first twenty minutes, they feed on the blunders of the Catalans and are even rewarded with a try gag from Baudonnat who after a fallen ball, a kick to follow and a favorable rebound, is very happy to open the “green and white” counter. This wakes up his teammates who start playing and in a very good way. The commuters continue to increase the pressure. Five minutes from the break, on a scrum in the center of the pitch, the ball goes out for three quarters. Bouyxou met Lagain in the meantime. The Toulouse center, a former Top 14 player, plays the last defender and goes to the ladies. As soon as he returned to the meadow, Bouyxou increased his team’s lead (3-17).
Céret woke up
In the middle of the second act, on an offensive place, Toulouse are at fault. Tondut plays the advantage and serves Drowned who delivers a small kick over. Enrique recovers the offering, collapses in the in-goal and wakes up the supporters. Five minutes later, the CS send of the game, Tondut overthrows on the omnipresent Romain Busquets who fixes two defenders and passes the arms to offer a caviar to his winger Ehouarne. Drowned transforms and allows his team to take the score ten minutes from the end.
The TOEC-TOAC-FCT tries to come back but the local defense does not give up. The suite you know.
