Finally a clash of Top 14 which takes all its promises! That is the main lesson of the match between Toulouse and Clermont. The confrontation between the two top ranking has indeed offered a great show to the Stadium of 35000 spectators. The second is that the stage has lost big, very big: its invincibility at home (11-23), and two key players (Dusautoir and Clerc) prior to the semi-final of European Cup. The meeting rolled in the second period for the leader, who has yet struck a major blow. A superb first act Clermontois These are the best that have started the game, being more aggressive and more enterprising, with a lot of movement. The Toulouse, they have experienced a painful early encounter, losing entry Thierry Dusautoir, released on K.-O. After an edge Zirakashvili. The test Rougerie, from the 5th minute and after 10 game time, just logically reward intentions Auvergne. Dominateurs in all areas of the game, they had no trouble picking cold High Garonnais who seemed to have his head elsewhere, perhaps already at Twickenham. Like last year, the ASM had taken the score by putting enormous pressure on her opponent and by depriving ball with, in addition, the advantage of the wind. But since last year, the High Garonnais turned the tide quickly enough After entering this complicated, the stage has been responsive, and the level of the match was still high, at a breakneck pace on both sides. Vincent cleric lit the first wisps, enjoying the largesse of Defence literally. The third attempt was good, at the end of a school concluded by Nyanga, made even easier with a few plaquages missed. Toulouse had chosen to respond to the game by the game, unsurprisingly, and could also count on the bankruptcy of Clermont in touch with lost 5 shots in 25 minutes. At the break, Clermont retained two points ahead, after a first act dramatic and exciting, with a comprehensive and attractive rugby. The drama Vincent Clerc The second act started on the same model, with a lot of movement and intentions. Toulouse had the best rounds, but failed to conclude, in the image of the three drops by Elissalde missed the first turn of the match. The pace is a bit back: with the clock advancing and fatigue who earned organizations, the two formations were sending a little less than Thursday, and trying to build a little more. After the game and the intensity, both teams gave us mostly suspense to choose a winner. Two penalties by James had first been given some advance to Clermontois before turning the match on a dramatic action. On a revival Toulouse, Vincent Clerc was seriously injured knee, and Aurelien Rougerie recovered the ball for planting a test assassin, while a heavy silence had invaded the stands saw winger international twist in pain. We call it a double penalty, and the premises are no delivery.
