In front of their supporters in Mayol, the Toulonnais dominated the South African team (36-21) on Saturday in the round of 16 of the competition.

It is good to live in the Var. Completely revived in the race for the final phase in the Top 14 (6th in the standings), Toulon defeated the Cheetahs of Bloemfontein, a South African club (36-21), Saturday April 1, in the round of 16 of the Challenge Cup. This victory allows the RCT to join the quarter-finals of the competition with the LOU, executioner of the Stade Français later in the afternoon (41-24), and Clermont, victorious Friday on the English lawn of Bristol (33- 26).

At the end of a first period dominated by the head and shoulders (19-0), the Toulonnais had a slight fright on returning from the locker room, handicapped by a wind coming from the front. With an eighth success in nine games in all competitions, the men of Franck Azéma and Pierre Mignoni have the right to dream of the final phase of the French championship and the coronation in the Challenge Cup, the only title missing from the club’s trophy cabinet. .
