Our report
Clumsy in the second act, the Toulousains did not manage to get the best of the valiant Toulonnais this Saturday April 20 in Marseille (21st day). The Var, however, were reduced to 14 at the end of the first half. Infuriating. READ HERE.
Melvyn Jaminet’s reaction
At the microphone of Canal +: “It’s certain that it was a match that was close to my heart. I’m very happy with the result, with the state of mind. We showed that even at 14, we didn’t give up. , even if on our side, it wasn’t a very great rugby match, we didn’t give up until the end and that’s what we have to remember this evening.”
Thibaud Flament’s reaction
At the microphone of Canal +: “There is a lot of frustration at the end. We really don’t get far. I think we had put in the ingredients to achieve a result. We started very well. It comes down to a few inaccuracies, some details. We gave ourselves the means to win, it didn’t happen today. We didn’t want to fall into this false rhythm. took points, they came back and took off.”
Baptiste Serin’s reaction
At the microphone of Canal +: “You have to know how to win lousy. This evening, we were not flamboyant, far from it. I think that Toulouse would have deserved the victory a little more than us at times. We have the merit of not having nothing let go after the red card, especially against a team like that. We are happy with the state of mind displayed.”

Melvyn Jaminet talks about Toulouse
The international full-back, now in Toulon, spent a little less than 18 months within the “rouge et noir” squad, between 2022 and 2023. A period during which he went through several periods of doubts and unrest . “I was walking in circles in my apartment…” Melvyn Jaminet recounts his discomfort during his stay in Toulouse.
“At 18-0, we didn’t panic…”
The last and only victory for Toulouse in the Vélodrome stadium dates back to 2015, at the end of a meeting with an incredible scenario. WE REWIND.
