Toulon has not given up. Visiting Bordeaux, which could ensure its qualification if successful, the Varois continued their fantastic comeback in the Top 14 by winning very logically (29-16), Sunday May 1, at the end of the 24th day.
The Rugby Club Toulonnais honored the lily of the valley, its emblem, to pick up three points from 6th place synonymous with qualification, two days from the end. The dream is still allowed, even if the RCT could leave some forces on the European scene against the London Irish in six days in Mayol in the quarter-finals of the European Challenge.
⏱80′ | 16-29 VICTORY
What a match for the Rouge et Noir! Thanks to a double from Aymeric Luc and a 100% at the foot of Louis Carbonel, the Toulonnais are essential on the lawn of Bordeaux!

For the UBB, the receptions follow and look alike. For the fifth time in a row, Christophe Urios’ men folded, this time against much stronger. They will have to whip a little more after the European cut to ensure the Top 6, in the absence of a direct semi-final in Nice.
Despite the return of their talisman Matthieu Jalibert, who was hungry for a game after three and a half months of absence, the Bordelais did not last the distance, giving way in large widths after the break. Thanks to a conquering scrum, a defense that let nothing pass and penalties scored by Louis Carbonel, Franck Azéma’s men offered themselves an indisputable victory.
