- 1337
A tremendous physical and fast paced battle between Toulouse and La Rochelle has definitely left both sides with sore and tired bodies. Both benches were expected to be well used and were. La Rochelle pulled away on both quarters of each half but Toulouse kept fighting. It was an extremely exciting last 15 minutes of excellent rugby played by both sides who showed quick feet, hands and thinking. Toulouse had their heart in the game as they never died off. They were less than a meter from La Rochelle's try line in overtime. Great bravery and strength from La Rochelle proved to be too much for the home team as Brock James kicked the ball into touch after his team were awarded a penalty under his posts in the 83rd minute. La Rochelle will be seeing the final stages of the tournament but as for Toulouse they will need that extra bit of luck to guarantee themselves a place in the play offs.
