Even reduced to fourteen from the seventh minute after the expulsion of Charles Ollivon, the Toulonnais were never worried by their Italian opponent on Sunday.

Mastered score, punched ticket. The Toulonnais are heading to the final of the Challenge Cup after disposing of Benetton Rugby Treviso (23-0) at home on Sunday April 30. Even reduced to fourteen from the 7th minute, after the red card received by the international tricolor Charles Ollivon, the RCT flew over the semi-final.

Solid in defense and effective in attack, the Varois had a large lead in the first period (17-0) thanks to the tries of Paia’aua (5th) and Gigashvili (18th). The skilful foot of Dan Biggar (2/2 on the transformations, 100% on the three penalties) then increased the score and prolonged the Italian ordeal. Treviso never managed to cross the Toulon defensive curtain. Still undefeated at home this season, the RCT reach their fourth Challenge Cup final where the red and black will face Glasgow on Friday 19 May.
