Antoine Dupont, unplayable

The sparkling scrum half of Stade Toulousain, as usual, delivered an XXL performance this Sunday evening to Ernest Wallon (28-8 victory against Toulon).

In this gala match where stars were lined up on both sides, he still pulled out of the game by being the source of his team's three tries in the first half.

Creator of the shift which resulted in that of Lebel in the corner (18th), he then served on a Delibes plateau on the other side of the field for the second (21st).

Finally, he carried out a great action before the half-hour mark, ball in hand then on foot, putting his team in the lead before sending Meafou into the in-goal (26th).

Matthis Lebel, decisive

Already author of a test last weekend in Bordeaux, the winger of the Blues did it again this Sunday, concluding in a corner a beautiful movement from the line of ¾ (18th).

He then showed himself to be very active and dangerous, especially following pressure kicks, like the one in the 57th minute, messed up by the Toulon defense and which he was close to taking advantage of.

In international form!

Emmanuel Meafou, scratcher and marker

The 140 kg of the second line of Stade Toulousain weighed heavily on the Toulon pack.

But Emmanuel Meafou, who would like to play for the XV of France one day, was not content to be solid in duels and to scratch balloons, he also allowed himself to put his name on the scoreboard. , concluding in the in-goal a high-class action from Antoine Dupont (26th).

A match like this could easily convince coach Fabien Galthié to call him when he has obtained French nationality.

FLOPS

Precision at the foot of Thomas Ramos

The back of the Stadium, who complained in the middle of the week of his low playing time against UBB, this time played 80 minutes.

Rather at ease with the ball in hand, he was however not successful on foot, missing four kicks.

An unusual inaccuracy which does not play in his favor in his duel with Jaminet for the starting position.

The nine points left on the way are fortunately anecdotal.

The injuries of Romain Ntamack and François Cros

This is the only black point of an evening which was also ideal for Stade Toulousain.

Romain Ntamack in the 26th and François Cros in the 58th both gave up their places through injury.

The former seems to have twisted his ankle, while the latter had just returned to Stade after missing the opening match at Bordeaux.

The severity of their injuries is not yet known.

The inaccuracies of Jiuta Wainiqolo

He who had scored a try during the victory of Toulon in front of Bayonne (40-25) remained silent this Sunday evening.

Voluntary but rough, tonic but imprecise, the Fijian winger was the symbol of the clumsiness of the RCT, failing to exploit the many balls he inherited on his wing.

He was replaced early in the second act by Thomas Salles who makes a good entry.
