Toulouse lead Brive at the break despite being outnumbered
Zapping World Fifteen RUGBY CHAMPIONSHIP: The editorial team’s dream XV
The kick-off is given at the Amédée Domenech stadium in an atmosphere of great evenings for the Brivistes and the Toulousains.
In the first 5 minutes, it was the locals from Corrèze who set the tone with very aggressive defenses and very violent charges.
While the Toulousains attack and seem in a position to score in the 8th minute, Enzo Hervé saves his people with an incredible defensive gesture by hitting the ball when Thomas Ramos flattens.

Thunderbolt in the 16th minute, Toulouse is reduced to 14 after a fault by Charlie Faumuina on a clearing. The match could take a completely different turn with this sanction.
