Toulon stay in top flight
9 May 2009
Joe van Niekerk and Conrad Barnard helped battling French club Toulon avoid Top 14 relegation with a 22-12 win over Dax.
Maxime Petitjean kicked four penalties for Dax but tries by Toulon’s Van Niekerk and Sinoti Sinoti and three penalties by Barnard and a Sebastien Fauque drop goal settled the contest.
Dax now join Mont-de-Marsan in next season’s second division competition. Bourgoin and Castres will meet on Saturday in a match that could also determine who joins the relegated teams.

Ditto… is Barnard the half-back that knocked out two props in the last brawl?
Have your say
