Best tries of the Top 14 - Round 4

Round 4 of the Top 14 took place on Wednesday last week. Some great tries were scored around French rugby hotspots, so we’ve got the best of the lot here in this Best Tries of the Top 14 compilation for Round 4.

Toulouse won narrowly against Bourgoin, but Freddie Michalak had a blotch on his performance card as he tossed a gift to Lionel Mazars, who sprinted away for the try.

Pretty-in-pink Stade Francais continued their poor run of form, as they lost 40-35 to Montauban. Jean-Emmanuel Cassion finished off an awesome team try for Montauban on the way to their win.

Stade coaches Ewen Mackenzie and Christophe Dominici have both since been fired.

For Bourgoin, Albert Vulivuli finished off a nice try with a neat step, as they beat Racing Metro 17-3. Toulon upset traditionally stronger side Clermont, with Sinoti Sinoti scoring a nice set piece try on the way to the 26-21 victory.

Last seasons winners, Perpignan, got the win against Brive in a scrappy match in which David Marty and Christophe Manas scored tries. 21-9 was the final score there.

Coming up next: Guinness Premiership best tries

  • It looks like Stade need to add their defence coach to the sacked list - awful! Vulivuli was named to play in France... if only the English commentators had as much character and flair

  • Brive, if you play Andy Goode at 15, you deserve to concede those tries!

  • honestly, with all the discussion about NH vs SH rugby or about which league is the best - there's one thing no rugby fan could ever deny: the french really have the BEST commentators xD

  • I've watched try no. 2 10 times now, trying to work out where the overlap came from. I know the Toulon 9 drew his opposite number to the wrong side of the scrum, but it looks to me like Clermont had 2 people on the far side of the scrum defending 1 person. I can't see the Toulon full back anywhere... could he have drawn an extra Clermont player to the other side of the field?
    Also, is $onny Bill Williams still playing at Toulon?

  • Re granite comment...

    have to agree, was it just really bad defending?

    There are more numbers in defence and wilko had to pick the ball off his boots. Great lines in attack though...

  • Granite

    I think it's the outside center that gets dragged in and creates the overlap on the wing.

  • Try no 2 was scored because they just didn't number up in defense.
    They had three defenders on four runners off the scrum on their right hand defensive side.
    They just didn't mark up properly.

    max guazzini is so strict?

  • about SBW: he's still at toulon, but has yet to recover from an injury (i think it was his calf, but i'm not sure). i assume he'll be back in a few weeks as he's already returning to lighter training sessions

    By Anonymous opfazonk, at September 10, 2009 8:42 pm  

  • Toulon are doing better with their current centre partnership, might as well save some money and let SBW go.
