Toulouse. Alamercery: a defeat of justice
If the young people of Toulouse produced this final well with a very good try from the Destarjac center, on receiving a small well-measured kick from Alary, before the winger Nemor drove the nail in a little more on his left lane (12-3, 28th), the Bordelais relied on a massive massif to get back into the game. Just before the break, it was the powerful pillar Frisach who achieved a highlight for the Girondins (12-10, 33rd).
In the second half, the checkered players took control of the match on an individual feat from the scrum half Balat (17-12, 37th). Stade Toulousain could not put their game in place with a few small slags in the sequences, conceding a new test on a deadly charge from the Bordeaux third line Tetani (22-12, 47th). Showing a delay of ten units on the luminous board, the “red and blacks” then threw their last cartridges into the battle at the end of the match. And despite a lack of precision and finishing near the line, they will end up being rewarded for their efforts on a losing try (19-22, 62nd). Alas, this score did not change.
Inconsolable at the moment of the final whistle, the Toulousains were content with the title of vice-champions of France, having narrowly failed against a fine Bordeaux team.
