Toulon secures a valuable victory in the Champions Cup, winning 28-27 against the Stormers at Mayol. After five matches without success in the Top 14, the Rugby Club Toulonnais finally gets back on track. The Var team opens the scoring with Ben White, who scores in the 8th minute. Dréan, Ferté, and Tuicuvu add three tries, but the match is marked by an intense back-and-forth. The Stormers respond with tries from Smith, Ross, and Khan, staying lurking in the shadows.
At the end of the match, the South Africans, with a two-man advantage, come close to scoring, but a try is disallowed. Toulon, who already won the Champions Cup between 2013 and 2015, will face the winner of the match between Glasgow and the Bulls in the quarter-finals.
Under a blue sky, Toulon starts strong, but the supporters, disappointed by the recent results, are not in large numbers. Despite moments of tension, the RCT holds firm and ultimately prevails, restoring hope to its fans. The next step looks exciting.
