Toulouse outclasses La Rochelle!! (60-14)

Led by Antoine Dupont of great evenings, Toulouse plays against La Rochelle. Hand play and foot play, the Rouge et Noir quite simply outclassed their opponents in the evening.

Banos in turn!! (60-14, 75th)

Ramos passes to the wing which benefits Banos who scores his team’s 9th try.

Thomas for the double!!! (55-14, 69th)

Teddy Thomas took advantage of a hand fault from Bosmorin following a breakthrough and a play at the feet of Thomas Ramos to score a double.

The Garrec saves the honor!! (50-14, 66th)

Leyds surprises everyone by quickly playing the touchline, and Le Garrec, alone, crosses the goal line.

La Rochelle can no longer do it (50-7, 62nd)

Toulouse succeeds in everything. Ramos puts pressure on Bosmorin, who concedes a throw-in after a kick. La Rochelle is in great difficulty facing the Toulouse game.

Thomas joins the party!!! (50-7, 58th)

Superbly served by Dupont, author of a long kick crossing the entire field, Teddy Thomas scored the Stade’s seventh try.

Superb 50-22 from Dupont (43-7, 54th)

The Maritimes try to play the game but lose the ball once again. Dupont took advantage and achieved a superb 50-22, a touch for Toulouse to come.

Ramos commits a forward (43-7, 51st)

Toulouse pushes the game and, inevitably, hand mistakes can appear. Ntamack sends a pass a little too hard to Ramos, who cannot get hold of the ball. Scrum to follow with introduction for La Rochelle.

Toulouse continues to attack (43-7, 48th)

The French champions do not seem satisfied. If Ugo Mola may regret a too recurrent ground game, he can on the other hand be satisfied with the standing game offered since returning from the locker room.

Roumat consolidates the bonus!!! (43-7, 46th)

Superb action from Toulouse, after several passes in a phase of play after contact, Roumat scores his team’s fifth try.

Very good kick from Hastoy (36-7, 43rd)

The La Rochelle number 10 takes a look and spots a large space in the Toulouse defense. Thomas is first on the ball, but the Rouge et Noir remain under pressure.

Blessed Capuozzo! (36-7, 41e)

The Stade winger did not return to his place after returning from the locker room due to injury. Kinghorn replaces him.

Here we go again!

Alldritt receives a yellow card (29-7, 37th)

On a tackle without the ball Alldritt is warned by the referee and will leave his teammates at 14.

Dupont, en maestro !!! (29-7, 34e)

At the exit of the ruck, the Tricolor feints to the left, turns around, slips between two Rochelais and flattens. Superb inspiration.

Toulouse settles in again (22-7, 31st)

Despite the pressure from the Maritimes, the Stade did well and continued in the opposing camp.

Superb defense from Ntamack!! (22-7, 27th)

Fraindt was preparing to flatten, but Ntamack comes back superbly and sends the third line into touch one meter from the goal line.

Ntamack scores a 3rd try!!!! (22-7, 24th)

Three quarters at work! Ntamack first makes a nice jump pass for Capuozzo. Number 11 then transmits with a kick to number 10, who takes advantage of the action to flatten after some nice timing.

Ramos adds three points! (15-7, 20th)

Ramos takes advantage of a penalty against the post to add 3 points. Toulouse makes a mini-break of 8 points.

Capuozzo allows Toulouse to take the lead!!! (12-7, 16th)

Thanks to two inspirations from Dupont, Stade Toulousain is back in front. First, number 9 recovers a ball volleyed by Leyds then performs a chistera which allows the Rouge et Noir to advance. Then he serves Capuozzo blind, allowing the three-quarters to flatten

Toulouse scores its first try!!!! (5-7, 14th)

The maul trampling, Marchand takes the ball and crosses the line despite the presence of three Rochelais. Ramos misses the conversion.

La Rochelle recovers the ball (0-7, 8th)

After a long phase of play from Toulouse, Jelonch made a mistake and the ball was recovered by the Maritimes who had a good start to the match.

Niniashvilli opens the scoring!!! (0-7, 5th)

After a superb combination with Daunivucu, Niniashvilli is served and only needs to be flattened.

First penalty (0-0, 2nd)

Atonio is unbalanced and makes a mistake in the ruck.

Here we go!

The Rochelais kick off at the Toulouse Stadium!

La Rochelle needs points

Only 10th in the standings, Stade Rochelais is coming off a great performance against Bayonne, swept aside 49-17. A great success which put an end to a series of three defeats in a row in the Top 14. Ronan O’Gara’s men are only three points behind 4th place occupied by Stade Français.

Toulouse can become leader again!

After Pau’s victory without bonus against Montpellier, Stade Toulousain can regain its place as leader of the Top 14 in the event of an enhanced success this Sunday. A first place that the Rouge et Noir had lost after the sanction of two points in the ranking inflicted in the Jaminet affair. “It’s a good time for us to throw ourselves into battle in a very determined way”launched assistant coach Clément Poitrenaud, who affirms that his men must “party on the field”.
