Anthony Jelonch also knows how to use his feet
“
Jelonch?
The older he gets, the more his number in the back will be reduced
”, laughed Ugo Mola after the victory in Clermont last weekend.
The 26-year-old French international had evolved into the second-line position.
But on the occasion of Stade Toulousain's big victory in Brive this Saturday (7-45), Anthony Jelonch played in his usual position, third line, and gave us a little kick to make his eyes blush. three-quarters which resulted in the test of Dupont (21st).
He also had a solid match with his usual physical density.
A leader's realism
If the Rouge et Noir were able to unfold in the second half by gleaning the attacking bonus after six tries scored in total, it was above all thanks to a very pragmatic first half.
Overall dominated, Antoine Dupont's teammates managed to return to the locker room with an advantage of two converted tries, both consecutive to Brive ball losses.
An ability to turn around and exploit the slightest weaknesses of the opponent which hurt the Corréziens very badly.

Brive consoled by his touch and his scrum
This had been the only positive aspect of the rout at Mayol last weekend (47-0 defeat): the conquest in touch.
This afternoon, the Corréziens were once again very solid in the air, not losing any touch and completely thwarting the Toulouse line-up which lost countless numbers.
The Brive pack also made a strong impression in melee.
It will be necessary to build on these two strong points to raise our heads.
FLOPS
Melvyn Jaminet, the tile
Holder at the back, the former Perpignan will not last long on the lawn of the Stadium, hit in the ankle after receiving a candle at the very start of the match (14th).

Stuart Olding doubly at fault
The Irish opener (29) found his place in the hinge after missing the match in Toulon.
He is at fault on the first two tries of Stade Toulousain, first by sending a pass in the socks of Muller Aranda which resulted in the test of Dupont (21st), then by seeing his interior delivery for this same Muller Aranda being intercepted by Arnold who spun into the in-goal with long strides (37th).
A game to forget.
Replaced at the 56th by Raffy.
Brive (almost) doubly Fanny
Dumb in Toulon last weekend (47-0 defeat), the Coujous came close to being Fanny again in front of their audience this Sunday afternoon.
Sam Arnold finally saved the honor by flattening after a pounding in good standing from his forwards at the very end of the match (79th).
We will have to find some offensive momentum to hope to get our heads out of the water.
