RC Toulon secured a commanding 52-23 victory over Castres Olympique at Stade Mayol. Melvyn Jaminet was instrumental for Toulon, contributing significantly with his kicking and scoring a try. Castres took an early lead with a try from Papali'i, but Toulon's response was swift, as they capitalized on Castres' yellow card to build momentum. Jaminet's penalties and conversions helped Toulon establish a strong advantage, particularly in the second half, where they scored multiple tries. Notably, Facundo Isa and Ma'a Nonu both crossed the line to further extend the lead. Jeremy Fernandez also made an impact for Castres with a try, but it was not enough to turn the tide. Toulon's dominance was evident throughout, as they outplayed Castres in both attack and defense.
