RC Toulon secured a 27-17 victory against Montpellier Herault Rugby at GGL Stadium. The away team started strong with tries from Drean, Mercer, and Domon, who also converted all three attempts, putting Toulon ahead 21-3 at halftime. Montpellier's Nouchi responded with a try early in the second half, narrowing the gap to 21-10. Despite a yellow card to Toulon's Gigashvili, Montpellier could not capitalize effectively on their numerical advantage. Tom Banks scored another try for Montpellier, but it was too late to alter the outcome. Domon's strong performance as fly half was pivotal, contributing significantly to Toulon's scoring. This result continued Toulon's dominance over Montpellier in their recent encounters.
