Despite finishing with fourteen players, scoring thirteen points, and battling courageously, the Stade Toulousain team managed to defeat their neighbors, the Toulousaines, late in the afternoon. Their slight drop in the standings compared to ASM/Romagnat, the new pool leader, was not a major concern as the game was still open midway through: 0-0, a rare score!
At that point, there was no question of an offensive bonus for the favorites. Blagnac put up a tough fight, although they didn’t create many clear chances. Eventually, a well-executed move and numerical advantage allowed Filopon to break the deadlock. As the game progressed, Stade Toulousain imposed their physical presence, despite their opponents showing dedication. This led to a penalty kick by Argudo, extending their lead to 8-0.
BRF Finished Strongest
It was only when Elina Folituu was propelled over the try line by her teammates that victory seemed inevitable for the better-rotated team. Given the wintry conditions, close areas were the strategic choice, but further scoring opportunities were missed.
In contrast, BRF finished strongest, with a missed opportunity from Condamines preventing Lechardoy from securing a consolation score. Both teams showcased solid defensive performances, with Stade Toulousain matching their rivals from Auvergne with zero points conceded. Such standards are reminiscent of a future French champion. This topic will be revisited in due time.
