Agree on the 2 points:

Toulouse AND Clermont deserved the victory

This was not a hold up


Of course, TLS were superior on the first half, and maybe in the first 10 min of the second, but didn't show great things, especially the backraw. Thier first try was not constructed but a real chance happening, after misunderstanding in Clermont (forward movement from Clerc, followed soon after by one from Clermont, but Ref surpriingly deciding the advantage over).


The reason of TLS defeat was not mainly due to last minute Michalak penalty miss (ASM missed many occasions too), but a very bad spare players management from Noves. TLS were clearly tired in comparison to ASM by the 50-55min.  Imagine some players like James were absent !!
