Toulouse can be frustrated, disappointed, but need not be ashamed of this defeat. For more than twenty minutes, their defense was tight. The Limouxins collided for a long time on the Olympian defensive wall. For Limoux, the solution was not collective, but individual. The audio rear, Zachary Santo was the swallow that made the Limousin spring. In the first period, he put his training in the right direction of success and success. He was impeccable on all the receptions. His kicking game was relevant. In the offensive patterns, he was perfect. In the 23rd, he exploited a loophole in Toulouse’s defense and deflowered the score (6-0). Two minutes before the break while his team is leading (10-0), he recovers a counter ball at the height of his twenty-meter line, after a race of eighty meters and a duel with his vis-à-vis Benjamin, it ends in the in but (14-0).
Returning from the locker room, Limoux drives the point home a little more by a realization of his winger, Arnaud Bourrel (20-0). We then think of a Toulouse rout.

Their investment is rewarded with a double achievement from center Max Clarke and winger Gaetan Vick (20-10). The Toulousains even see an opportunity to remember six lengths. One meter from the goal line, captain Romain Pallarès was stopped by the excellent Zachary Santo. The score of 20-10 perfectly summarized the face of the debate. Only, at the last second of the game, Bastien Ader removed the point of the defensive bonus … A disappointment for Toulouse as underlined by Paul Sangaré, the pillar of the TO: “There is a lot of disappointment on this meeting. It is frustrating to lose the defensive bonus point at the last second. For my part, I think the score is severe. I have the feeling that we tied the game in the second half with Limoux. We will not give up . We don’t have much to win games. “
