Toulouse. Toulouse completely overwhelmed
During the first round, Carcassonne had copiously dominated its Toulouse host at Albert-Domec (54-10). This second face-to-face ended with an even heavier addition for Toulouse Olympique.
The analysis thus dispenses with any comment. On the lawn of the Minimes, Carcassonne has more than mastered its subject. Carcassonne and Toulouse were well evaluated in the same competition, both do not shoot in the same category. Carcassonne has the makings of a candidate team for the title of champion of France while Toulouse is totally demotivated for this end of the championship.
Yesterday afternoon, captain Alexis Escamilla’s team offered a blackboard lesson. The Audois were in the role of the master, Toulouse in that of the pupil. The last championship runner-up played from the first minute to the last. The copy that returned it is free of any erasures. In all areas of play, the Carcassonne have exercised unchallenged domination. Superior on impact, impeccable in defense, applied in offensive patterns, the Audois were logically rewarded on the scoreboard. In the quarter of the game, the lead was flattering for Carcassonne (16-0), then at the break (32-0).
The chalice to the dregs
On the resumption, the Toulouse managed to improve their rare highlights. Ultimately, center Gaétan Vick found his way to the in-goal. An achievement that was only window dressing. Carcassonne got its hands on the debate and varied the game to perfection in the wake of its hinge Brock Peligra-Clément Herrero. Forced to defend, Toulouse drank the chalice to the dregs. At the last minute of play, on the last Aude possession, Clément Herrero brilliantly opened the door for his center Thibaud Marty. The latter, after a race of sixty meters, concluded in pieces, also placed an end to the Toulouse ordeal.
