Toulon Victorious; Vannes on the Verge of Upset
Ouf de Soulagement pour Toulon
RCT took a sigh of relief after their 22-15 victory over CO at Stade Mayol. The home team dominated possession throughout the match, but Castres remained competitive and threatened an upset in the final minutes. In the end, though, Toulon's experience and home field advantage proved too much for the visitors.
The victory was crucial for Toulon, who had lost their last two matches. It keeps them in the hunt for a top-six finish in the Top 14 standings. RCT will face Lyon next week in a match that could have major implications for their playoff hopes.Vannes Tutoie l'Exploit à Jean-Bouin
Vannes came within a whisker of upsetting Stade Francais at Stade Jean-Bouin on Saturday. The visitors led for much of the match, but Stade Francais eventually came back to win 26-22. Vannes' performance was impressive considering they are a newly promoted team and Stade Francais is one of the most storied clubs in French rugby.
The loss was a disappointment for Vannes, but they can take solace in the fact that they pushed one of the best teams in the Top 14 to the limit. They will face Biarritz next week in a match that could have major implications for their playoff hopes.Conclusion
Toulon and Vannes both had contrasting fortunes this weekend, but both teams showed that they have the potential to be successful in the Top 14 this season.
