Thanks to two tries from his winger Gabin Villière, Toulon dominated Saracens (25-16) at Mayol on Saturday and is thus heading to the final of the European Challenge where he will face Lyon, at the Vélodrome stadium in Marseille;
for a 100% French final.
The Toulonnais will find Lyon and Pierre Mignoni, their future coach, at the Stade Vélodrome on May 27.
At the end of the match, Mayol was on fire and three RCT players - Baptiste Serin, Charles Ollivon and Anthony Belleau - went straight to the stands to celebrate this great victory with their supporters.
A moment immortalized by a Toulon supporter.
At a press conference, Var manager Franck Azéma confided:
“Mayol was on fire.
It's huge to feel this fervor.
The arrival at the stadium, it spins the hair.
I'm privileged to experience that in this locker room and that's why I've always played rugby."
