Louis Carbonel's vista
France has only had Romain Ntamack and Mathieu Jalibert for a few months.
So, Louis Carbonel continues his little way, in silence.
Like his season of very good quality, the youngster trained at the Var club again achieved an exceptional performance: a double (41st, 62nd), but above all a faultless against the poles.
The Toulon opener therefore scored 29 points, just that.
A nugget.
Charles Ollivon in the second line, a success
Faced with the stunt of the second row injured, Patrice Collazo had appealed this week to yet another medical joker, Levi Douglas.
The Englishman is not yet sufficiently integrated, it is the captain of the XV of France Charles Ollivon who is mounted in the cage.
The usual flanker showed that his traveling skills came in handy in the second half.
A success, which should nevertheless remain short-lived as the contribution of the ex-Bayonnais is precious in the third row.
A first turning point well negotiated for Toulon
The RCT is building up.
Baptiste Serin's teammates started this evening a decisive series in the race for the final sentences of three matches in eight days: reception of Toulouse this evening before going to Montpellier on Tuesday and then to Clermont on Saturday.
The offensive bonus won even allows the Var to post a nice 10/10 by counting the last match against Agen (34-17).
Baptiste Serin's chistera
This is the favorite gesture of the scrum half of the XV of France, which he regularly gratifies to Toulon supporters.
This time, his gesture was one of the supporters of Louis Carbonel's test (62nd), that of the offensive bonus.
To see and review without moderation.
We stay baba in front of this chistera @Serin_Baptiste |

Flops
Toulouse, a losing turnover
After his victorious European Cup semi-final against Union Bordeaux-Bègles last Saturday, Ugo Mola had chosen to renew his starting XV.
In large widths.
No less than fifteen changes had been made by the manager.
After a satisfactory first half hour, where his players held the ball, he saw the Toulonnais impose their power and their overwhelming physical superiority.
Logical, when certain players started for the first time a meeting of the season.
A fatal end of the first half for Toulouse
We play the 37th minute, Toulon leads painfully (6-3) against the rejuvenated Toulouse.
An almost lucky advantage given how the match unfolded.
This is the moment chosen by the RCT to share its experience.
On an approximate recovery from Maxime Marty, the game was quickly transformed to the right wing of Gervais Cordin, and Isaia Toeava put the young winger in orbit with a good pass (37th).
Vexed, the Toulousains wanted to react… but were surprised by a school against well concluded by Louis Carbonel (40th) shortly after the siren.
20-3 before returning to the locker room, the outcome of the meeting was already determined.
