TOP 14. Victory against Toulouse? Not the most memorable match according to the Pau captain
It should not be minimized. The victory of the Section Paloise gleaned yesterday is indeed a feat. The arguments are not lacking to give it this qualifier. Indeed, the Béarnais faced the French champion club in their den without their two centers for a good part of the match. To which must be added the desire to remain despite everything at 8 in the pack, thus opening the sea to Toulouse. With 3 tries scored after the second expulsion, the latter did not hesitate. Another point, the reds and blacks had taken on the appearance of black beasts of the greens. Over the last few years, they had been accustomed to taking place in front of the latter. We can cite the 83 to 6 in May 2019, the 31 to 9 victory about a year ago or the 38 to 10 of last October.RUGBY. Toulouse is sinking, its supporters worried and upset after a 6th defeat in a row
In short, yesterday’s performance was nothing short of negligible. Yet for Lucas Rey, this insanely dramatic encounter doesn’t quite measure up to another crazy encounter. The Pau captain said so himself in an interview with Rugbyrama : “Last season’s victory against Montpellier was not bad, wasn’t it? We played the survival of the club. This was not the case today. So I was sticking to this famous success against Montpellier, a really huge match, even if today we showed character and we have a lot of emotions. As a reminder, the Palois had exploded with joy last May after obtaining their maintenance in the Top 14. This emotion followed this famous improved victory against the MHR on the score of 41 to 25.Top 14. The uncontrollable emotion of the Palois who considers their maintenance live [VIDÉO]
