Ugo Mola has made his choice. The Stade Toulouse coach has decided to start Scottish full-back Blair Kinghorn this Sunday (4 p.m.), in the semi-final of the Champions Cup against Harlequins. The latter had a high quality match in the previous round, three weeks ago against Exeter (64-26).
That day, Blair Kinghorn scored 23 points, including two tries. Thomas Ramos was just returning from a pelvis injury. The 28-year-old French international full-back will be a substitute again this Sunday at the start of the semi-final against Harlequins.
Antoine Dupont and Romain Ntamack will be present on the pitch at the Toulouse Stadium from the kick-off, this Sunday at 4 p.m. On the wings, Matthis Lebel and Juan Mallia will start to accompany Blair Kinghorn. The latter had also been tried in this position this weekend against Racing 92 in the Top 14 (32-12).
In the second row, French international Thibaud Flament will accompany Emmanuel Meafu. At hooker, Peato Mauvaka will start, with Julien Marchand understudy.
