Toulouse. Toulouse Olympique lost against Leeds
The tenth meeting in the Super League ends with a defeat for the Olympians, a match with many stakes for the two teams which are close in terms of the classification. It was ultimately the Rhinos who had the last word.
Not spared by injuries, the TO had to face 2 changes on the day of the match; Mitch GARBUTT forfeited the morning of the game and Chris HANKINSON during the warm-up.
The first half begins with an arm wrestle.
After a strong defensive streak, the Olympians are the first to score thanks to winger Paul MARCON. Alas, the Toulousains make too many mistakes, return too many balls and even if they show a lot of courage, their defense gives way twice. 12-6 at the break for the English.
The TO XIII tries to catch up and misses a huge opportunity. The local counter allows them to widen a gap that the French will not be able to fill, despite the two attempts by RUSSELL and VAIVAI.
Next meetings for the group of Sylvain HOULES, Saturday April 30, 4:30 p.m. against Hull FC at MKM Stadium and May 15 at 3:30 p.m. at home against Wakefield Trinity.
