- 1349
A brilliant result for Toulon as they beat La Rochelle for only the second time since 2004 (at the Stade Marcel-Delfandre). The home side will scored a fantastic try through hooker Pierre Bourgarit, after Tawera Kerr-Barlow's quick thinking gave them an early lead. Ryan Lamb and Brock James were poor from the boot for La Rochelle while Jonathan Wisniewski missed only one kick for the visitors. JP Pietersen was on the end of a brilliant Toulon move to score their first try of the match but it was Ma'a Nonu's one in the 69th minute that was the turning point for Toulon. A huge impact from the bench from Anthony Belleau and a brilliant 80 minutes from Duane Vermeulen lead Toulon to victory. La Rochelle have now lost 6 of their last 51 matches at home.
