This Thursday, August 25, a week before the start of the season 2022-2023 of Top 14 (September 3-4), Toulon and Toulouse faced off in a friendly match, in front of 7,000 spectators at the Mayol stadium. A clash in Rouge et Noir which contributed to a success for the Stadistes (31-21), thanks to 5 Toulouse tries from Dupont, Delibes, Théo Ntamack, Jaminet and Descamps.
A poster also designated by the faintness of the young New Zealand pillar of the RCT, Junior FIFA (19 years old), who collapsed with all his weight after the final whistle of this preparation match. Quickly taken care of by the firefighters and the medical staff of the Var club, he remained lying on the ground for a long time, under the eyes of his teammate Sitaleki Timani, before being evacuated from the Mayol stadium. His club has just given reassuring news.
“His state of health has improved and is reassuring”, explains the RCT
It’s a chilling image that we really don’t like to see on a rugby pitch. At the end of the meeting between Toulon and Toulouse, the young pillar of the RCT Junior Fifita, who was making his debut in the Var colors, felt unwell, inspiring great fear in the Toulon leaders and supporters.
But the Rade club was reassuring about the state of health of its New Zealand pillar. “After feeling unwell at the end of the Toulon-Toulouse friendly match, Junior Fifita’s condition has improved and is reassuring”, indicates the RCT in a press release. “The Rugby Club Toulonnais wishes a good recovery to its player. »
“He felt uneasy about fatigue and the accumulation of scrums”, according to Azéma
Statements that corroborate those of Franck Azema, at the end of the match, since the Toulon manager spoke above all of a big scare on the part of Junior Fifita. “He scared us all. That’s a fact discomfort on fatigue and the accumulation of scrums. I don’t know if he had a concussion. He felt faint just as he got up. He was much better coming off the pitch. He was evacuated to a hospital and will remain under surveillance tonight (last night, editor’s note). But, it was rather reassuring. »
