Former Flying Fijians utility back Setareki Tuicuvu came off the bench to score the winning try for Toulon against Castres in round 2 of the French Top 14 competition this morning.

Castres, with the services of Flying Fijians centre Vilimoni Botitu and Paris Olympic silver medallist Josaia Raisuqe, led most parts of the game and even led 17-13 at halftime.

Toulon staged a late comeback in the final quarter of the match which was finished off with the try by Tuicuvu to lock the score at 28-all before flyhalf Paolo Garbisi converted the try to clinch the win.

Meanwhile, in other Top 14 matches this morning, Filipo Nakosi, Salesi Rayasi and Kitione Kamikamica scored a try each for Vannes but could not help as they slipped to a 34-31 loss to Stade Francaise.

Pau beat Bayonne 51-29, Montpellier defeated Perpignan 26-7, Racing defeated Clermont 33-20 and Lyon edged Bordeaux 28-26.
