Toulouse leader ahead of La Rochelle, 1st victory for Bayonne
A promoted who opens his counter and two cadors already at the top, discover the results of the second day of Top 14.
Top 14 result: Toulouse without mercy for Toulon (28-8)
The RCT moved to Toulouse with the ambition of confirming the great promises of the Var interviewed last week against Bayonne. A failed mission for the men of Franck Azéma who could not do anything against the Toulouse ogre. Dominant in conquest, the Stadium takes the lead thanks to Matthis Lebel. The Toulouse winger took advantage of a ball quickly ejected from a scrum to make his speed speak (8-3, 17th). RC Toulon did not even have time to breathe when Dimitri Delibes crossed the goal line in turn (13-3). Stunned, the Varois conceded a third try scored by Emmanuel Meafou a few minutes later (20-3, 26th).
Returning from the locker room, Toulon reacts timidly through Aymeric Luc (20-8, 65th). Too little to endanger Stade Toulousain. The residents of Ernest-Wallon will even seal the fate of this part thanks to Peato Mauvaka (28-8, 75th). As a result of its victory, Toulouse takes the place of leader.
Top 14 result: Montpellier plunges UBB into crisis (29-19)
In this rematch of the semi-final of the last edition of Top 14, Montpellier again won against UBB (29-19). Author of a very great first half, the MHR made the difference twice (Paenga-Amosa, Bécognée) to take off. Louis Carbonel is responsible for punishing Bordeaux’s indiscipline.
Well ahead at the break (29-7), the Héraultais will relax in the second half. Clément Meynadier (45th) and Federico Mori took the opportunity to mitigate the Bordeaux setback. With 2 defeats in two games, UBB occupies a pitiful 13th place far from its usual standing.
The other results of the 2nd day:
In the other matches of the 2nd day of Top 14, La Rochelle struck a blow by winning in Lyon (21-23). A result that allows the maritimes to take second place in the standings. Unhappy finalist last year, Castres won at home against Stade Français (30-20). Weekend sale for Parisian clubs because Racing 92 also lost to Bayonne (31-25). Clermont did not miss his first at Marcel-Michelin against Pau (33-24). Finally, Brive went for a precious success in the race to maintain Perpignan (6-17).
