Toulon dominated Clermont with the bonus (27-9) thanks to three tries by Gabin Villière, Sunday in Mayol during the poster of the 12th day of Top 14 which did not keep its promises with a revised ASM.
With this improved success, Toulon (4th) follows the pace of the leading trio led by La Rochelle, leader with six more units.
The Auvergnats, who held twenty minutes without the majority of their executives put to rest, leave the qualifying places (7th) but have not lost everything with the setbacks of Lyon (5th) and Stade Français (6th).
The Toulonnais, however, stumbled against a wall for a long time at the start of the game.
Faced with inexperienced but enthusiastic young Clermontois, they have multiplied the errors of hand.
Led by a Wesley Fofana who was celebrating his 200th in the Jaunards jersey, ASM first made a strong impression.
Faced with the Var indiscipline, Sébastien Bézy set the sights and passed three penalties in front of the poles.
Led, Patrice Collazo's men relied on the fray to reverse the trend.
Thanks to a solid pack, they returned to the Auvergne camp.
Winger Gabin Villière scored his first attempts in Top 14 ... and three at once!
First, thanks to a cross at the foot of Ma'a Nonu, then by sneaking into the holes of the Clermont defense, the new X factor on the harbor allowed the RCT to pass before the break (14-9) .
The second period largely turned to the advantage of Toulonnais.
Despite the yellow card received by hooker Christopher Tolofua, Carbonel secured the victory with six extra points.
With the wind at your back, Charles Ollivon's teammates camped in the opposing half of the field.
And it is again Gabin Villière who came to concretize this domination, well served at the end of the line.
Without shining, the Toulonnais managed the end of the match by controlling the last offensives in Auvergne.
