Toulon takes revenge and eliminates Lyon

They lost last season in the final of this same competition against their Rhone neighbors. On the occasion of the quarter-finals of the Challenge Cup, the Toulonnais made a clean sweep of the past, Saturday April 8, by dominating Lyon in Mayol (48-23). Virtually untouchable for a few weeks, the team led by Pierre Mignoni and Franck Azéma has had good results, in the European Cup and in the league.

Yet devoid of ammunition during the first period, the Varois were able to be opportunistic to register no less than seven tries and thus repel the Lyon threat. This new success against LOU, two weeks after that acquired during the 21st day of Top 14 (27-23), allows the Toulonnais to reach the semi-finals of the Challenge Cup, always the only title missing from the club’s list.
